Recently I had the opportunity to ask Sheila Walsh, author of Gigi, God’s Little Princess, about her new series, Gabby, God’s Little Angel.  Here’s what she had to share:

How does this series differ from Gigi?
“The heart behind Gigi is to let little girls know that as they are right now, they are loved by God and are truly princesses because God our Father is a King. Gabby’s focus is to let them know they are never alone, that God and His angels are watching over them.”

Why did you write a new series of books for girls 3-7?
“There was such an overwhelming response to the Gigi series of books I wrote for girls ages 3-7, so I set out to develop a new character that young readers would embrace and delight in.”

How did you come up with the theme of God’s love and ever-presence?
“I’m moved by God’s passion for children. We live in a crazy world, but we serve a God who loves us and our children with a relentless passion. What a gift to let our children know that they are never alone, that they are always loved. That is a story worth telling!”

Why did you want to write about angels from a child’s perspective?
“There is a lot of interest in angels in our culture, but so much of it is based on fairy tales and not the truth of God’s Word. In Matthew, Jesus draws a child to his side and says, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.”
