Angel Mae Book

It is Christmas time and a family are expecting a baby. The children in the family are taking part in a play and Mae is very proud to be the angel Gabriel, she's calls 'angel gave you.'

The story is told as a narrative with pictures postponed above the text.

The reader would need to bring their experiences when reading the text; children will understand what a school play is like and how it can be exciting to have your family members watching you. The book could also be read to children that have not taken part in a nativity play and therefore it would be a good book to introduce children to the roles in the nativity. It would also teach the children about the importance of being brave and not tuning the show for everyone. In the book Mae falls over the chair but she stands up and continues to sing.
