Brown includes tools for teachers and caregivers as well as introductory nonfiction features such as labels, a table of contents, words to know, and an index."--

Brownie is aptly described as a young girl having “a tiny, rather delicate little face, with large brown eyes, looked out of a frame of thick brown tresses.” Her mother, Mrs. Eustace makes her living by writing stories. Brownie and Buffie were playing in the woods when they heard what sounded like an angel, and Angelo became their new friend. Brownie tells Angelo about Jesus, but he has barely heard of the name. Soon Angelo needed a new guardian and they thought that God would miraculously provide for him, but this did not happen without the testing of their faith.
