Excerpt from Roxy's Good Angel: And Other New England Tales "If you've got tew a spot where you c'n leave off, mebbe you'd best come out an' fry the nut cakes fer me, a-standin' over the hot fat fetches out my 'umor so. The stuff that root an' yarb doctor fixed up ferme 's a-helpin' of me, but he said I'd hev ter be dretful keerful 'bout gittin' my blood het," said Mrs. Kent, as she put her head into the "west room," where her daughter, Roxana, was carefully placing the braided mats on the cleanly swept rag carpet. "That hooked-in rug's a beauty! I'm glad you put it before the table where 't won't git trod on much," continued Mrs. Kent, as she looked admiringly at a rug upon which blossomed a bouquet of flowers which it would have puzzled a botanist to classify. "Did David notice your new rug last Sunday night, Roxy?" "Yes, he said 't I beat natur' on posies," was the reply. It was a balmy Saturday morning in the last of May.

Bestselling author Anthony DeStefano brings the vain and possession-loving Roxy the camel to life to demonstrate the familiar Bible verse: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Little ones ages three and older will learn that possessions are only things...and definitely NOT the most important things. Brightly illustrated by Richard Cowdrey and written in engaging, funny rhyme, this storybook follows Roxy's journey from her waterless home in the desert to a great city of beauty she's heard about but never seen. Along the way she learns that the only way to attain true happiness is to share—or even give away—what she possesses.
