Victor Bertolami's Legend and Musical, The Innocent Saints
In Matthew 19:14-15, the Lord Jesus said to all of us, "Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them; for such is the kingdom of heaven. And He laid His hands on them and departed from there."This simplified story about The Children's Crusade was discovered by accident when the author was conducting a small dissertation on the innocent saints, or what historically was the fourth crusade in the year 1212.The name of the young pilgrim and crusader was Stephen, who had a dream about leading the crusade back to the Holy Land. The ten-year-old was persuaded and directed by an angel. Stephen accepted the mission and took it to the streets.

They were taken gracefully to Jerusalem by a squad of Templars and other orthodox believers, but were finally stopped and put to the test for their beliefs and perseverance.

Miraculous Sky is a wonderful story that I believe will speak to the heart of every age group. Michelle has really communicated some powerful truths in the story and in life.Jason Burrough, PastorMichelle Weltz has been a student of mine in the past. Her sweet cartoons of her dogs and her family are as appealing as any I've ever seen. I'd love to see her book in libraries and Sunday school classes, which I believe would enhance and inspire not only little children, but their parents as well.Diana Neville Knowles, Portrait Painter and InstructorWhat a beautiful tribute to Sky and Tana. Never doubt the power of prayer. To God be the glory.Dr. Karen Hartle, Veterinarian
