Nestled in this story of Sadie, an unwanted child sent to harsh orphanage, are brilliant gems to help children (of all ages!) to unlock fears, anxieties and sadnesses and find self-confidence and joy in difficult times.

This is a beautifully presented story of a small child, Sadie. It relates her journey from abandonment through a series of challenges to happiness, thanks in part to the kindness of strangers - of whom the most important is Myla, her guardian angel - and in part to her own innocent honesty.

This is as much a morality story as a fairy tale, and it celebrates the triumph of goodness over meanness, of hope over despair and of trust over fear… It's a surprisingly powerful book which tackles serious issues head on, yet is lit with optimism as the heroine discovers the value of friendship.

The illustrations (credited to the story's heroine Sadie) have the naive charm of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's drawings for The Little Prince, and the narrative is a page-turner with layers of meaning that will appeal to children and adults alike

This is definitely a story for every age. (I’m 30) I really enjoyed reading this book. It left in me a feeling of being grateful and empowered. Sadie and Myla’s tale reminds you that everything is possible and miracles can happen if you truly believe and that you are guided and loved by your guardian angel.

A wonderful book that we (the family) all enjoyed together, One to treasure and revisit. Well worth the money! My daughter (8) said that it helps her to believe in herself :))

A beautiful lovingly made children's book, which tells a timeless story of hope in times of despair, light in times of darkness and how we all have our own MYLA (my little angel) to call upon. A truly empowering read which gives a brilliant message to those both young and old. Even though it may appear to be just for kids, like Harry Potter (and all truly great stories) Sadie and Myla is highly enjoyable for all ages!

I so liked Everything about the book. The way Virginia builds the story and you as the reader slowly get the feeling for the different characters, the small details, the small angels and feathers. And the drawings! I loved them! They fit so well with the story. I so recommend this book, even though it's a children’s book I so appreciated it, and I'll find a grandchild to read it to…. It gave me so much!
