About the Book

The story of an eight-year-old girl and her Guardian Angel.

About the Author

My name is Michelle Guzman. I am 8 years old and I am in the second grade. Because I don't have the necessary skills to write a book or explain myself in a clear and understandable manner, I have enlisted the help of my good friend and guardian, Raphael.

I know that he will do a good job, because he always comes through for me.

When I am hungry, I close my eyes and think of him - I think he's got a telephone inside his head because he hears me calling him and he comes around, takes me to see grandma, and there I am given food. I rest for awhile and afterwards, I play with other children that are in the house. After awhile Raphael brings me back to my house. And I feel good and happy.

When my bicycle has a flat, I call Raphael and my bike is good. I ride it on the sidewalk and have lots and lots of fun.

I think that my good friend Raphael is my Guardian Angel.

At the present, my family and I are poor and sometimes we have to do with what we have. Raphael always helps us. I told Raphael about our financial situation and he told me that he would make me his partner.

I must say that I was puzzled and very curious. I asked him what kind of business we could do, after all, I am only 8 years old. And I am not strong enough to do the kind of work that big people do. Raphael told me that we were going to write a book. I would tell the story, and Raphael would put it into understandable language and type it on paper.

From this idea came the title for this book: The Angel and Me.
