Overview
Divorce tears families apart! Shane and Brandon have never fought before, but now they are pushing each other! This leads to a serious injury. The family is forced to address some of the issues of the divorce. But, is it enough to help Shane recover?
When children believe it is their fault, they feel responsible and some begin to think that this makes them a bad person. “Well, I was actually really angry,” admitted Shane. “But it’s not good to get angry.” They question their value and this alters the way they perceive themselves and their life.
This begins a flood of emotions ranging from guilt, fear, anger and sadness. This sparks the negative thinking and can cause minor misbehavior, but can also spiral into depression, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, and violent behavior.
Talking about divorce is very difficult for kids. “Brandon started accusing me of being the reason that Mom and Dad were getting a di...di…, oh let’s just call it splitsville.” This book is an effective tool to help children open up and discuss their many concerns and questions about divorce. This story features characters with real emotions that kids will be able to relate to. They will learn skills and concepts through this engaging story.
This book effectively speaks on two levels - to children and to parents. The Little Angels coach Shane on how to use a tool and technique to deal with his fears, emotions and stresses. “Those are all common fears that children have when their families are going through a divorce.” The Self-Esteem Angel uses her unique magic to show Shane’s Mom a side of divorce that parents don’t get to see.
The family discusses, “What makes you guys think it is your fault?” and the importance of communication. The Angels help them think of ways they can work together for the well-being of everyone. The insights, tools and techniques in this book help build self-esteem. “It is important for all of you to realize that these are all communication skills that can be learned." The Angels bring positive energy to a very difficult and serious topic.

A Glimpse into Wendy Collier:
Now, I absolutely love drawing and painting. When I am in my art studio I connect to the angels and they help me create magical paintings.
See the image that looks like a dove, just above the title, on the cover of is unconditional love like heaven?
I DID NOT draw or paint it. It just appeared.
See the girl in the pink dress in the clouds below the Self-Esteem Angel in how to handle change – friendship?
I DID NOT draw or paint it. It just appeared.
I feel very blessed that the Universe has chosen me to bring the gifts of the Self-Esteem Angel stories, drawings and paintings, to all of you. I hope they will help you become your highest, best self.
