God Bless the Gargoyles

Gargoyles have been feared and misunderstood for centuries, but now Caldecott Honor artist Dav Pilkey tells the real story of these gentle stone creatures come to life.

Angels can see the good inside them, though, and tonight the angels will sweep down to take their silent, stone friends on a magical journey, hand in hand.Caldecott Honor artist Dav Pilkey’s lyrical tale of these gentle stone creatures come to life is a reminder that everyone — from the grievers to the dreamers to the believers — is worthy of love.
