As Tyler and his family gather around to decorate their Christmas tree, he notices something curious about the beautiful angel they are about to place on top. The angel has blonde hair and pink skin, and Tyler begins to wonder why he has never seen a Christmas angel that looks like him. He asks his mother, his father, and even the Santa at the local mall, but nobody seems to have an answer. Determined to find a Black angel for his family's tree, Tyler searches everywhere, only to realize they are nowhere to be found. Just when he is ready to give up hope, Tyler discovers that the holiday season is full of wonderful surprises. This heartwarming and thoughtfully written story beautifully captures a child's desire for representation while celebrating the true, inclusive spirit of Christmas.
