Cassandra’s Angel has come to share a secret that will bring comfort and hope to all children. You are invited to enter the world of Cassandra, a little girl who just can’t seem to do anything right--or so the story goes.

Children’s self-images are strongly influenced by the attitudes and comments of their parents, teachers and peers. Unfortunately, other people's beliefs often become negative stories that impact children for life. This powerful tale exposes those stories for what they truly are. As children turn the pages of this vibrant and compelling book, they will discover the truth about themselves.

Each of our inspirational, award-winning children’s books has been selected from among the many hundreds of submissions we receive each year. We then find the perfect artist, whose vision and talent are unleashed to create a brilliantly illustrated, award-winning children’s picture book. Cassandra's Angel was a finalist for the Coalition of Visionary Resources award for Best Children's Book.
