Bartholomew’s Gift
by Diane Dignan; Illustrated by Wendy Edelson
from the catalog: Bartholomew has a gift that others do not possess. At a young age he learns that he has the ability to see angels! As he matures, being misunderstood and fearing ridicule from his peers, he denies his experiences until the gift disappears forever. Or does it? Based on my toddler nephew’s comment about a ‘friend who came down from the sky to play’ with him, I wrote the story as a reminder that there are endearing forces outside of ourselves to guide and encourage us throughout life. Beautiful, award-winning illustrations by Wendy Edelson capture the story’s joy and essence.
