The animals in God's Secret Garden are upset because the colorful flowers that make their garden so beautiful have withered and died. When they pray for help and God sends an angel to help solve the mystery.
Benny's Angel is the first book in the children's series, God's Secret Garden Adventures. It is written to appeal to children between 3 and 8 years old. This delightful picture book invites children into a very special place called God's Secret Garden, where the woodland animals can live in safety.
When Ella Eagle discovers that the colorful flowers that make the garden so beautiful have withered and died, she hurries to tell Mayor Benny Bunny. All the animals gather around, wondering what could have made such a terrible thing happen in their garden. Mayor Benny suggests that they pray right away and ask for help. God answers their prayer by sending an angel to help solve the mystery. In the end, the flowers are restored and the animals learn a valuable lesson.
Coming August 2013 - two new God's Secret Garden Adventures: Fred D's Amazing Escape and Catie's Secret.
Excerpt
When Oliver Owl heard about the missing flowers, he was puzzled. "The garden was quiet when I flew over it last night," he said, scratching his head. "There was no sign of Count Slime. The Wisdom Watchers have not reported any trouble."
"Then we must ask God to help us solve the mystery," said Mayor Benny. "He will know how to get our flowers back. After all, he put them here in the first place. Let's not waste any time. We must pray right now."
"Dear God, we don't know what has happened to our beautiful flowers. Please show us how to get them back. Thank you. Amen."

Benny's Angel
What a lovely little book with a wonderful message on not letting others steal your joy. This book is written especially for younger children and offers a message of love and hope in a way that is simple for them to understand. With lovely illustrations and characters, children will see the value of prayer in action.
Short and sweet, it's just long enough to hold young children's attention without giving them time to get restless.
My grandbebes loved it at Gigi Storytime, and I think your children and grandchildren will, too. It would make a lovely and meaningful addition to the Christmas gift list! Julie A. Smith
