Thus begins this unforgettable story of a pre-born baby's life from consciousness through birth. This book is a masterpiece which has a profound effect on both children and adults. Although many non-religious people might dismiss it as fanciful, the idea of a small helpless pre-born baby speaking to an angel is a sensible and comforting belief. A book like this could tend to be sappy or sentimental, but instead the story is very simple and honest.The entire narration is from the child's point of view. This has an absolutely disarming effect. Reading the words of the book will almost assuredly make many parents cry, especially those with small children, so you might want to read this through a few times before reading it to your child.There is a part where the angel explains that beyond the "outside world" there is an "even bigger world" that the angel will lead the child into someday. That reminded me of the poem of St. Francis which says "Dying we are born to eternal life."
"Angel in the Waters" is a wonderful and beautiful book! The illustrations are rich and colorful. The story is a tremendous illustration that pre-born babies (usually called fetuses) are indeed human beings. That is a reality much overlooked in our modern society. I highly recommend this book for BOTH children AND adults. It could offer joy for pregnant women or women who have recently given birth, and compassionate truth for women considering an abortion and those encouraging her to do so. It will teach children of all ages, including teens, that human life begins at conception and is indeed sacred. Thank you to the author and illustrator for this important little book!!!
This book captures the young readers from the moment you open the front cover. Originally, I thought it might be too involved for younger readers, but they are absolutely mesmirized by it's content. Adults as well. I would on the top of the scales reccomend this book.
Full Disclosure: I knew the author in college.I bought this book to read to my 2-year-old son to help him understand better that within a month he will have a new baby sister. It seemed to be pretty effective at this, as after a few pages, with explanation from his parents, he was pointing to the baby on the page, and then patting my wife's swollen abdomen.I found it very touching to think of our daughter's guardian angel resting with her in my wife's womb. Also, the illustrations are wonderful.The story, however, moves a little slowly for my 2-year-old. I'm guessing a child would need to be a little older than he to actually enjoy this book. As it was, we more read it to him as though the pictures were a power-point presentation, and our explanatory gloss about pregnancy and birth were the actual text.Thanks, Regina, for writing this book. We're glad we have it!-Greg Weidman
This book is so beautiful and rich. It brought tears to my eyes. My children, ages 6,4, and 2 read this with my husband. Their mouths were wide open as he read it. My two-year-old kept saying, "WOW and Ohhh!" I think every family should have a copy.
I found out just exactly a year ago that I was expecting my third child... I was so excited! Now he is 4 months old and I got this book for him for Christmas. When he is old enough, I will use it to explain how he grew in me, and how happy I was. My girls will enjoy it, too. This book is aimed at children, but it will tug at adults' hearts. Let's show children how they were "real people" right from the beginning.
Regina and Ben... You did a great job on this book.I enjoyed reading it online and I hope to buy some copiesfor friends who are expecting. Thank you again for a gem ofa book to use in future ministry.God bless you and keep up the great work,Joshua Jankoseminarian (Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana)
Angel in the Waters will definatly convert you to being pro-life! This story is a beautiful tale of a baby developing in it's mother's womb, and talking to it's guardian angel while it's in there! You'll enjoy this beautifully illustrated book!!!
