A Glimpse into Wendy Collier:
Now, I absolutely love drawing and painting. When I am in my art studio I connect to the angels and they help me create magical paintings.
See the image that looks like a dove, just above the title, on the cover of is unconditional love like heaven?
I DID NOT draw or paint it. It just appeared.
See the girl in the pink dress in the clouds below the Self-Esteem Angel in how to handle change – friendship?
I DID NOT draw or paint it. It just appeared.
I feel very blessed that the Universe has chosen me to bring the gifts of the Self-Esteem Angel stories, drawings and paintings, to all of you. I hope they will help you become your highest, best self.
Life Lesson: Trust and have faith. You may not have a clear vision of your life and that is OKAY. Every experience you have will give you a glimpse of your purpose. Have no doubts my friends, you have an important purpose, one that is valuable to the world.
Your angels are always with you, just ask them for help and say “thank you”.
Enjoy your journey, Wendy Collier

Editorial Reviews

“One of the best features of the books is their accessibility and realistic nature. Collier writes about situations common to kids; moving, fitting in, losing a pet, or just coming to terms with losing friends. They’re also incredibly useful books for parents and teachers; kind of a reminder of what it was like to be a child facing one of life’s obstacles. The stories are always engaging and interesting, and more importantly there are vital, practical message to help."

Mark Weber

“The students in my class really enjoyed Wendy’s books and the opportunity to perform a play for their school mates. The grade 4 class is now seen as the honorary self-esteem angels in our school. Wendy’s books go along very well with our Safe and Caring School themes. Thanks.”
