From Organization / 国外机构评价:
Grade 1–2—A grandmother and her granddaughter share a dialogue about aging in which the woman answers the child's questions with reassurances about the physical changes that come with time. Kono's acrylic and pencil folk art evokes a rural Latin American setting and features monarch butterflies, smiling suns, and iconic swirling backgrounds. Vega's Hispanic characters are depicted in traditional dress and she manages to convey an acceptance of a stage in life that many Americans are loathe to embrace. The poetic give-and-take allows readers to think deeply about the topic. The granddaughter's query "have the angels come and darkened your eyes?" is answered with the graceful "Yes…. They have dimmed my vision so I may see more clearly." Vega belabors the point though. By the time grandmother's hair, ears, teeth, back, hands, legs, and feet have been addressed, readers will have aged too, and may miss the lovely last line. Lyrical and warm, this is an additional purchase for large multicultural and intergenerational collections.—Lisa Egly Lehmuller, St. Patrick's Catholic School, Charlotte, NC

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价:
Using lyrical verses and symbolic imagery, author Denise Vega touches on the relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter and explores the mysteries of aging. Over and over the granddaughter asks her grandmother various aging questions, all starting with the lines, "Grandmother, Grandmother, have the angels come?" With amazing wisdom and love, the Grandmother answers the questions in a unique, reassuring way. Some of the five senses are covered in this book: sight, touch, taste, and hearing. This is one of the few children's books I've seen that portrays aging in a positive light. Even as the Aztec-styled sun sets, love, light and beauty reign. Erin Eitter Kono's illustrations in this new book are simply gorgeous, full imagery and swirling colors in radiant oranges, yellow and reds that remind me of Mexico. Brilliant Monarch butterflies are a recurring symbol in the book and flutter over many of the pages. Interestingly enough, every year the Monarch butterfly migrates to the Michoacán forests in Mexico. This migration happens during the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday. For the residents of this area, butterflies serve as a representation of departed loved ones souls. This book would be an appropriate fictional picture book read during the Day of the Dead holiday. The book creatively depicts aging and does hint of death. Even though the title includes the word "angel" this is not a work of Christian fiction. Most children will not understand the deeper messages portrayed in the book without some explanation, so the book is not particularly scary or upsetting. My preschool daughter loved all the butterflies shown in the book as well as pictures of the sun with a face.

ntswh: 孩子心中的祖母多么的慈祥温暖!     --来自这本书另一个版本的评论 2012/1/14 23:02:00
绘者利用蓝桔白几色调的鲜明对比,让全书充满了祥和和温暖,尽显祖孙之情。
小孙女面对日渐衰老的祖母,好奇慈祥的祖母为什么有很多的不一样,纯真的小心灵深处认为一定是天使降临,让自己的奶奶有了变化。诗一样的对话,小孙女的纯真,奶奶的睿智,让小孩子心中充满关爱与温馨。
女儿还没看,不知道她会有什么样的感受?她常常会想念从小就疼她爱她的,现在远在深圳的外婆外公,总是会问他们什么时候能回来,她很想他们,常常接完电话就问。

清晨阳光: 天使之美之爱     --来自这本书另一个版本的评论 2013/5/10 16:40:00
和女儿一起读这本书好几次,因为喜欢里边的语言,喜欢小女孩天真的问题,喜欢奶奶睿智的回答。除了优美的图画,祖孙之间的那份感情亦是细腻感人。小女孩的可人,奶奶的温情的爱,让故事温馨无比。生命的自然规律让奶奶变老,在奶奶看来都是天使带来的美好的事情,天使让奶奶的头发变白是为了天空有云彩,让奶奶的手指弯曲是为了更紧的抓着小岁女......总之都是为了更多更好的爱。很感人的绘本,我和我8岁的女儿都很喜欢。
