About the Author

Jimmy Huston is no damn angel, but he does have two granddaughters who he thinks could be. (He also has two daughters who he doesn’t compare to angels at all.)

A recovering screenwriter, he has written twenty-something silly and unusual books for kids.

¡Ese extraño angelito!

Jimmy Huston

Si no tienes dirección ni número de teléfono, si no estás en la lista de alumnos de un colegio y no tienes historial médico, es lógico que tampoco estés en la lista de San Pedro, si es que existe.

Y, si no existe, desde luego no estás en ella.

Quizá eso es lo que le pasó a esta chica. 

Hay alas de ángel y aureola, pero este ángel no tenía adónde ir.

¿Puede un ángel ser un vagabundo?

Eso parece. ¿Y ahora qué?

No hay escuela. Sin casa. Sin familia.

¿Van a funcionar las alas?

That Strange Little Angel

Jimmy Huston

If you don’t have an address, or a phone number, if you aren’t on a roll at a school, and you don’t have medical records, it makes sense that maybe you’re not on Saint Peter’s list either -- if it even exists.

And, if it doesn’t exist, you’re certainly not on it.

Maybe that’s what happened to this kid. There are the wings of an angel, and the halo, but this angel just didn’t have anywhere to go.

Could an angel be homeless? Apparently.

Now what?

No school. No home. No family. Are the wings even going to work?
