Because somewhere, an angel is listening . . .
It's Christmas Eve. The tree is decorated, the presents are wrapped and it's a big day for Grace. She is singing a song in the nativity show, and her fisherman daddy has promised to be back in time to watch her. But when a storm blows up at sea, Grace walks out on stage to find Daddy is not there. She's very worried. But luckily, Grace has someone watching over her. Will Hope, the Christmas Angel, be able to help Daddy get home safely for Christmas morning?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In an uplifting series launch that would feel right at home on the Hallmark Channel, the mother-son authorial team—Riley, who died in 2021, and Whittaker—feature the tried-and-true concept of gathering loved ones at Christmas. Young Grace, a girl portrayed with light brown skin and dark hair, knows the butterflies she feels about her solo in the school's Christmas Eve nativity will dissipate when her father, a fishing boat captain, keeps his promise to attend the event. But a fierce storm intervenes, keeping Daddy out on the rough seas and sending Grace to bed gripping an angel tree-topper and whispering wishes for his safe return. Luckily, Hope the Christmas Angel homes in on Grace's quiet plea, and creates calm paths for many boats' clear passage, facilitating a heart-bursting reunion on Christmas day in the morning. Ray's earth-toned paintings feature quaint seaside village cottages, roiling waves, bobbing ships, and a barefoot, pale-skinned angel, exuding loads of love and comfort. Ages 5–7.
