The 10th Anniversary, hardcover Angel in the Waters is a simple, non-confrontational book that makes young children decidedly pro-life long before they ever hear the word “abortion.” This special hardcover book tells a special story. It’s the first story of every child of God: In its mother’s womb, a tiny baby grows, explores the waters, and talks with the angel who is there. With gentle illustrations and wise words, author Regina Doman tells the story of that baby and the angel in the waters . . . a story that will delight all young children, because the journey from conception to birth is their story, too.
