    5.0 out of 5 stars Heart-Warming Tale of Hope and Courage
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Angel’s Forever Home is a heart-warming tale of hope, courage, love and comfort as a rescue dog named Angel waits patiently to find his home after an earthquake in Chile leaves him injured. The authors of this sweet story beautifully capture Angel’s voice and make him so relatable one can’t help but root for him and hope he finds a home as special as he. The kindness shown to Angel tugs at one’s heartstrings, especially in appreciation of rescue animals everywhere and those giving them their “forever homes.” Ms. De Mase’s beautifully detailed and soft illustrations bring Angel and his story to life. A must read for children and adults alike!

    What This Book Is About.
    After being rescued from the Chilean earthquake by an American dog rescuer.....Jill, Angel settles down which he thought was his permanent home. Angel loved being in his new home, but became sad, when Jill said she would find suitable owners for him.
    .
    One day someone comes along that loves the sight of Angel, but Angel's not sure and doesn't want the lady to know about his injuries, but all is not lost, with gentle coaxing Angel begins to accept the kind person. The kind person is Rita, but before she makes a commitment she has to speak to someone else.
    .
    The time comes to leave to go to another home, Rita's and Bobbies place. With injuries from the earthquake they took Angel to the vet, bad news was, he was going to lose a leg, good news was, he would be free of pain. Once freed from his dilemma there was even more of a surprise waiting at home for Angel .... I wonder what it was?
    .
    .
    My Thoughts On This Book
    With being a childrens book, I felt this was easily understood. Although this is a book about a dog, we can very easily put a child in its place .... this book teaches the importance of patience, courage and the willingness to open their hearts to others.
    .
    I loved how this all was interpreted. Loved the light blue background used within the book too. Loved the small, but simple illustrations and I absolutely loved the ending, a happy one, as it should be.
    .

    Recommendation
    This book comes highly recommended by me. It would suit all children.

    This is a children’s book that will help teach compassion for God’s creatures, and you will soon fall in love with Angel!
    Poor Angel has suffered a lot in his young life, but will he be able to find a forever home? This poor love has injured his leg in the Chilean earthquake, and now needs to have medical care and a family.
    We get to see what happens to this pup, and the willingness of someone to overlook his disabilities and open their hearts.

    I received a complimentary copy of this book and was under no obligation to post a review. The thoughts and opinions are mine alone

    I liked the way the story is presented as well as the themes of friendship and being safe and happy in a forever home.
    So important to children of all ages, but especially to younger ones. It also shows the value of dogs as friends. It will ignite curiosity in a child

    I bought "Angel's Forever Home" for a friend's children. What a perfectly wonderful story: a dog whose leg is hurt in a Chilean earthquake travels all the way to the U.S. in search of a family. There's a surprise twist in the plot when Angel succeeds. Reading it teared me up. A kids' book. Simple. Profound. Amazing. Kudos to our own local celeb authors Rita Gigante, Bobbie Sterchele-Gigante, Donna McDine and local artist Renie Conklin De Mase.
