Jenny The Little Brown Hen
Another gift from Dolores Keaveney is the wonderful picture book , Jenny the Little Brown Hen. Jenny lives in the farmyard and she has friends, but no one who is like her. Jenny is lonely until a striking and elegant rooster moves in. And before too long, they have six lively baby chicks to keep them company. Jenny will never be lonely again! The illustrations are rich, contemporary and textural, and perfectly accentuate this story about friendship, loneliness and happiness. This absolute delight of a book has also been translated into the Irish language, ‘Jenny, an Cearc Bheag Dhonn.’  As reviewed by FALLEN STAR STORIES. http://www.dubraybooks.ie/kidsnews05.asp/

Earth Angel Book Review by Lisa Redmond
Earth Angels are Everywhere Are You One? By Dolores Keaveney Reviewed by Lisa Redmond.

Earth Angels are Everywhere Are You One? is a beautiful little book which is so hard to categorise. It is a picture book for both adults and children and would make an ideal Christmas gift. The book features illustrations, poems and quotations which celebrate the people all around us in our everyday lives who through their work, their actions and their kindness become earth angels. With different poems  and illustrations for the various different earth angels such as teachers, nurses, doctors, carers, parents, counsellors and many more.  This gift book celebrates all those who bring joy into our lives through small acts of kindness. The message is a simple one; that we can be angels here on earth by just putting more thought into our everyday acts. The book is deeply spiritual but it speaks to people of all different faiths celebrating our humanity not highlighting difference. Dolores has illustrated the book herself and the subtle watercolour paintings in various soft and pastel shades are undoubtedly influenced by her training as a healer with each angel in a different shade representing a different energy.  I would recommend this book to young and old and it would make a lovely gift for a teacher, caregiver or any earth angel in you life. http://www.lisabooks.blogspot.com/

Earth Angel Book Review by Virginia Pye
Earth Angels are Everywhere Are You One? By Dolores Keaveney Reviewed by Virginia Pye; Registered Nurse.

The premise of this gorgeous little book is that we can all make a difference.
This book is a simple reminder of the power of the individual. On a daily basis it is easy to forget what each of us can achieve simply by being human.
The book challenges each of use to look into our souls and to take stock of what it is can do to make a difference to another person. The singular message of the book is that each of us is capable of being an angel merely by carrying out an act of kindness. Is there anything more fundamental than to intuitively help others? The author allows us to believe that our day to day caring actions can symbolise the work of an ‘Earth Angel’. It is an empowering thought.

The author does not overlook the need for care of the self in order to care for others. Forgive yourself and you can forgive others. Each page of this inspirational book contains a prescription for earth angel activities. This is followed by quotes from familiar names that link sensitively to the angel activities. The author is a talented artist and the book is richly illustrated by images of angels in pastel water colours.

The angel images in the book are faceless. When we reflect on the messages in the book will we see our own features on these ethereal beings? I would like to think that everyone will see something of themselves. As a nurse working with people on a daily basis this book reminds me that compassionate heartfelt actions have the potential to bring about the greatest healing.
