Synopsis: All of the angels in Heaven are preparing for a big event, and Crystal, a little angel, wants to be a part of it. But the more she tries, the more the angels tell her that she is just too little. That is, until God himself gives her the biggest, most important task of all ... going with the Archangel Gabriel to Mary, and bringing God's greatest gift to the world. But can Crystal do what God asks? Journey with Crystal as she discovers that God sometimes chooses the most unlikely for the greatest tasks. Crystal also discovers that you are never too little to do great things. You just need to believe and never give up.

Review: This is a wonderful book for encouraging children to realize that they can do important things no matter their size. Crystal may be one of the smallest angels in Heaven, but she ends up playing a hugely important role in the Nativity.
The story is easy to read, and the illustrations are beautiful. Portions of the story are not exactly Biblical, but that doesn't deter from the message of the story, in my opinion.
This would be a wonderful book to add to your library of Christmas tales.
