The Angel Children or, Stories from Cloud-Land

"The Angel Children" by Charlotte M. Higgins is a collection of heartwarming stories that teach kids about being good and kind in the mid-1800s. The tales center around children learning about feelings, friendships, and even a little bit about heaven. One story, "Hepsa and Genevieve," tells of two girls who come from very different homes; one has everything she could want, and the other struggles with a tough family life. When they become friends, they learn from each other about loving others, being kind, and believing in God, showing how even kids can make the world a better place through understanding and compassion. These are sweet stories with lessons about doing what's right.
