The Littlest Angel

The Littlest Angel was very excited. The whole Heavenly Host were preparing for a Big Event.

‘The Big Event,’ Gabriel said.

There had already been a buzz around a baby who had been born a few months earlier, but Gabriel said this baby was going to be even more important. This baby was going to save the world.

The Heavenly Host was going to go and tell people, and for the first time the Littlest Angel was going to be allowed to come too.

‘Is it today?’ the Littlest Angel asked her mother.

‘Not today,’ said her mother.

‘Is it today?’ asked the Littlest Angel the next day.

‘Not today,’ said her mother. ‘But soon.’

The days went by and still it wasn’t the right day, until finally the Littlest Angel asked, ‘Is it today?’

And her mother said, ‘Yes, it’s today.’

‘Yippee!’ cried the Littlest Angel. And she got ready to go.

Vanessa Marlow: What baby?

Beth King: Um, John the Baptist.

Vanessa Marlow: What’s the Heavenly Host?

Beth King: The angels.

Vanessa Marlow: What stops her from going? How does she get lost? Who does she visit on the way?

Beth King: Vanessa, I’m trying to work this out.

Vanessa Marlow: Can’t she go round the world visiting different people?

Beth King: Why would she do that?
