    About this ebook

    Even angels have a hard time playing fair
    The Little Angel of Fairness wants to treat all of her friends the same way, but sometimes it isn't easy. She's trying hard to earn her wings, and she really wants to get the best Angel assignments. But is it fair if her friends are sometimes left behind?
    Jessica knows what it feels like to be left behind. She wants to hang out with her older brother, Hank. But sometimes Hank wants to do things that are for "boys only" -- like dressing up in a pirate costume for the big town parade. Jessica wants to dress up, too. And she knows she could come up with a great costume. Can the Little Angel of Fairness help her show Hank that girls are just as good as boys?
    Be fair.

      No Fair! - Donna Jo Napoli

      Angel Talk

      One for you and one for me, and one for you and one for me." The Little Angel of Fairness counted out chocolate Kisses. Chocolate was her favorite, and Kisses were the best. There was one left over.

      I get it, said the Little Angel of Friendship.

      The Little Angel of Fairness pushed her glasses up her nose and neatly arranged her pile of chocolate Kisses into a pyramid. We have to share it.

      It’s too small to share. Plus, if you give it to me, then you’ll feel terrific for being generous and I can feel terrific for giving you the opportunity to be so generous.

      The Little Angel of Fairness laughed. She unwrapped the tinfoil from the candy Kiss and took out a pair of tiny scissors. I’ll cut it in half, and you can choose the half you want.

      You’re going to cut it with scissors?

      That’s all I have. Aren’t they cute? The Little Angel of Fairness cut carefully, but one piece of the Kiss was slightly bigger than the other, anyway.

      The Little Angel of Friendship put his hand out toward the big piece. Then he grinned and popped the smaller piece in his mouth.

      Well done, said the Archangel of Fairness. You’re both acting like perfect angels this morning.

      What else would you expect? said the Little Angel of Friendship.

      Perhaps a bit of humility. The Archangel of Fairness raised her eyebrows in a look of mock scolding. Then she smiled. Put away your chocolate for now, my little angel, and say good-bye to your buddy. She leaned over the Little Angel of Fairness. You have a job to do.

      Yay! The Little Angel of Fairness kissed the other little angel on the cheek. When I get back, we can play a spinning game with the gold coins I’ve been collecting.

      But I was supposed to choose our next game, said the Little Angel of Friendship.

      You’ll like this game.

      You always choose, said the Little Angel of Friendship. And I’m always forced to go along.

      So what? You always have fun. My games are the best. The Little Angel of Fairness stuffed her chocolate Kisses into her right pocket. Oh, I’m so excited. I have all my feathers except for one small patch. This job will fill it in, and I’ll earn my wings, I just know I will.

      "Good
