Kids’ Korner: The Angel of Health brings good luck and much cheer

The Angel of Health likes to come up with some creative ways to keep your child's imagination active – just one example of the free downloads available each month at KidsReadUs.com!

This angel is the creation of Lindsay Leathers, who was a patient at the C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital when she was 9 years old. Lindsay was asked to participate in a special holiday project. Like all the patients there, she faced some difficult treatments, but they certainly did not prevent her from keeping her spirit alive, says C. J. Ellis, publisher of the book Angels are Everywhere.

“This is one of many angels that represented a tough time during each child’s ordeal when he or she rose above physical limitations and adversity to create something truly special — an expression of the delight of being a child,” explains Adrienne Rudolph, creator of Angels are Everywhere and former Artist in Residence at C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital, the University of Michigan.

Each month, KidsReadUs.com features fun activities that can be downloaded free. All designed to encourage kids to Let Their Imagination Fly!
