Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with this empowering fun and extremly uplifting story in exchange for a honest review. I loved reading this story about guardian Angels and Rosie’s guardian angel who helps her settle into her new school and not feel so alone

As a mother of a child who suffers from anxiety I found this book simply wonderful.

The story of Rosie starting at a new school and worrying about fitting in was delicately and sensitively handled by both the author and the illustrator.

The way Rosies feelings are described will be very familiar to many children (and parents too).

I think this book will be a lovely way to open discussions with a child who is feeling anxious and the idea of the guardian angel gently listening and acting on their anxieties will be reassuring.

The illustrations were beautiful and calming.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a digital ARC through Netgalley for an honest review.

I love the illustrations for this book. However I'm not quite sure about the story. As an early years teacher I'm not sure that I would read this with a 4-6 year old, putting thoughts of worry into their minds and yet it does not quite have the appeal for an older child. It would have sat better with me if the girls had all made up in the end and done an activity together. As it is, there is still the feeling that the girls who excluded Rosie are still 'out there'. No angel overcomes that feeling of being on the outside of a group.
