About this ebook
The Little Angel of Understanding gets along with everyone -- except for the Little Angel of Learning. He uses big words, and the little angel doesn't always know what they mean. Will the Little Angel of Understanding be able to earn his wings if there are still some words he can't figure out? He'll have to help Maggie with her problem first.
Maggie loves it when her grandmother comes for a visit. But this trip is different, because Gram isn't just visiting. She's going to move in with Maggie's family -- forever. Can the Little Angel of Understanding help Maggie make room for Gram?

Angel Talk
Little angel? The Archangel of Understanding stood beneath the tree and peered up through the leaves.
I can see your feet. I know you’re there."
Don’t look up,
the Little Angel of Understanding whispered loudly. You’ll give me away.
Oh.
The archangel squatted and pretended to be examining the base of the tree.
Is he still near?
whispered the little angel.
The Archangel of Understanding glanced around. I don’t see anyone. Who are you hiding from?
The little angel climbed down. The Little Angel of Learning. I don’t like him.
Why not? He seems nice to me.
Ha. You don’t know half the things he says. He just came back from visiting the Galápagos Islands and he called the plants there ‘succulents.’
The Archangel of Understanding looked puzzled. What’s wrong with that?
I’ve always liked plants.
So?
So he can’t call them ‘succulents,’
said the little angel. That’s mean.
The archangel laughed. A succulent is a certain type of plant that holds liquid. Cactuses are succulents.
The little angel smirked. Why didn’t he just say that?
Did you tell him you didn’t know the word?
I didn’t have to. No one knows words like that. And I hate it when someone uses a word I don’t know.
Little angel, you’re not being very understanding. And I need you to be the most understanding you can be now.
The Little Angel of Understanding’s eyes slowly widened. He smiled just as wide. You have a task for me, don’t you?
A hard one.
Good. I’ve earned almost all my feathers. This task will finish it off, and I’ll finally hear the bell that announces my wings.
Well, don’t congratulate yourself too fast.
The Archangel of Understanding walked ahead. Maggie is just about to discover her problem. It won’t be easy to fix.
The little angel caught up quickly. I’m ready to work my best.
Space
Maggie picked up the green porcelain turtle and rubbed it with the soft cloth. When it was perfectly free of dust, she set it down and did the same to the blue glass turtle. There were twenty-two turtles in her collection, and she was cleaning all of them this morning, like she did every Saturday
