We have one copy of “Little Angels” to give away! Look past the jump for instructions.

Roma Downey, who played the angel Monica on the popular TV series “Touched by an Angel,” has a favorite motherhood prayer which she shared with SixSeeds when we talked by phone last week.

“God in Heaven, my savior dear,

Watch over my children and draw them near.

Send little angels to be at their side,

To light, to guard, to love, and to guide.”

With her own family grown beyond the preschool years, Downey is celebrating the naps-and-sippy cup stage with a new project aimed at preschoolers called “Little Angels.” The animated series, available in Christian book stores, teaches children practical skills such as letters and numbers. It goes a step further to teach life lessons and ethics from Bible stories.

The central characters are twins Alex and Zoe. A mural graces the ceiling of their nursery, a painting of eight little angels. When the children need them, the angels come to life and guide them, using Bible stories. They might use the lesson of Jonah to teach courage or the story of David to teach obedience.

Each angel has a specialty. Urial is all about creativity. Ariel is a guardian angel who teaches kids safety lessons. Charmeine plays music but also teaches the lessons of harmony in relationships. Hayley is the angel of animals, teaching about the animal kingdom and drawing lessons from them.

Each show has a Bible lesson woven throughout the story and a final talk from Roma Downey at the end.

“We designed it to be in support of Christian families,” Downey told me, “We need all the help we can get, don’t we? It allows for the beginning of great conversations with preschoolers after each episode.”

Quality was also important to her. “Having raised a family, I know that they’re not going to sit down and watch something boring. So it was very important that we created colorful and dynamic stories. That we have great designs and animation, that we include some fantastic music.”

If you would like more information, Downey has set up a web site at www.littleangels.com

Although Downey is passionate about this project, it isn’t the only one on the table. She and her husband, producer Mark Burnett, are creating a ten part series on the Bible for the History Channel. It will be a dramatic presentation of Bible stories from Genesis to Revelation, with expert commentary as well.
