The first book in the heartwarming Guardian Angels series, written by #1 bestselling Lucinda Riley and her son Harry Whittaker, and stunningly illustrated by Jane Ray.
Lucinda Riley was born in Ireland, and after an early career as an
actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her first book aged
twenty-four. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven
languages and sold twenty million copies worldwide. She was a No.1
Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller. Grace and the Christmas
Angel was her first story for young children.
Harry Whittaker grew up in the 1990s and spent the first few years
of his life on the rural west coast of Ireland, with a poor TV
signal (and certainly no iPad). It was therefore left to his mother
to entertain him, which she did through telling him stories. As a
result, Harry has become a storyteller himself, as an award-winning
radio presenter for the BBC and a member of one of the UK's most
renowned improv troupes, who perform all over the UK. Harry and his
mum now hope to spread a little warmth through the Guardian Angels
series, which is Harry's first published work.
Jane Ray is a children's illustrator admired worldwide for her
exquisite, hand-painted artwork. She has illustrated over sixty
children's books, working with bestselling authors such as Michael
Rosen, Carol Ann Duffy and Jeanette Winterson. Jane has been
shortlisted six times for the Kate Greenaway Award, won the
Smarties Prize for The Story of Creation and was the UK's 2018
Nominee for the IBBY Hans Christian Andersen Award.
