About this title

From the Back Cover:

What will happen when the silent, stone gargoyles that adorn the world's churches and cathedrals take flight...?
An IRA-CBC Children's Choice

"A book for all seasons." -- Family Life

"A prime instance of how to teach morality without inculcating morals." -- The New Yorker

"Readers will find solace in this modern-day answer to existentialism." -- Kirkus Reviews

From the Inside Flap:

Behind their cold, stone faces, gargoyles have warm, loving souls -- yet most people don't look deeply enough to notice. Angels can see the good inside them, though, and tonight the angels will sweep down to take their silent, stone friends on a magical journey, hand in hand.

Caldecott Honor artist Dav Pilkey's lyrical tale of these gentle stone creatures come to life is a reminder that everyone -- from the grievers to the dreamers to the believers -- is worthy of love.
