Annabelle: A Child on the Way (English)
The spirit of a young girl hopes to join the family of Philippe and his parents. But they do not realize her presence---not directly. She tries to reach out and soon realizes her limited powers of influence, but she also discovers what can happen when you remain patient and hopeful.
Written by Beti Rozen & Peter Hays
Illustrated by Eliardo França

“…a tender, sensitive story about a young spirit named Annabelle who wishes to be born into a loving family she has grown attached to. Her wishes do not immediately come into realization, and she learns much about patience and not forcing readiness or other things she cannot control in many discussions with her spiritual guide. Delicate, mysterious dark illustrations bring the story of Annabelle: A Child on the Way to a full, tangible awareness in the young reader’s mind. Couched in nonspecific existential terms without religious connotations, “Annabelle: A Child on the Way” is a wonderful book for children ages 5 and up who may soon experience (or may have recently experienced) an addition to their families.”
