A Quote
From the Book
She watched as her peers flapped and lifted off the clouds, some already doing aerial acrobats! She looked around at her tiny set of wings flapping furiously like a dog paddling water and got an entire foot off the ground. Exhausted, she fell back into the soft cloudy field and thought, “Now why would anyone give the Chunkiest Angel fairy wings?! This must be some sort of joke!!!”

Backstory
From the Author
My husband always calls me his “Angel”, but I had gained so much weight, I would say (or think to myself), “How can such a chunky angel fly?” This was the beginning seed from which my imaging grew, wondering what challenges a chunky ‘Earth Angel’ might experience in Heaven.
Since I started writing the story in 2020, just as the pandemic took hold, one of the ‘challenges’ I thought this angel would face would be coping with the way everyone’s lives were impacted by COVID19. I thought of how children especially would struggle, as routines and friends/playing are so important for a sense of security and social development. Nobody knew how long the pandemic would last, so it was risky, as I didn’t think it would remain as relevant a topic through the end of 2020. I hope soon this pandemic will be behind us thanks to vaccines, but the overall message of The Chunkiest Angel is still timeless: stay positive, focus on what you can do vs. limitations, and try to help others in need.
