Jenny Angel by Margaret Wild, illustrated by Anne Spudvilas. Viking 1999. Jenny tries her best to save her little brother, Davy, but nothing she – his self-appointed guardian angel – can do will stop his decline. A story of wishing, and hoping, and making deals. Touching, and otherworldly, this could help start a discussion about the futility of deal-making with the ‘universe’ in the event of an upcoming death.
