(NorthSouth, Sept. 1, 1995)
While searching the attic for Christmas decorations, Maria finds a music box with a figure on top that reminds her of an angel with no wings. Her grandmother reminds her that angels must earn their wings. In this magical story, Maria's small act of kindness brings surprising rewards--for Maria, an old homeless man, and for a tiny, wingless angel.
