How Two Simple Words Can Help Ease Fear and Invite Peace

For Children and Grown-Ups Alike

It was such a joy to sit down with Milford author Michelle A. R. Hydeck on a recent episode of Studio Access, where we explored the heartfelt inspiration behind her beautifully illustrated children’s book, Wings Up.

Produced and directed by David A. Smith, this public access interview reveals how two simple words “Wings Up” can offer children and adults a pathway to peace, courage, and spiritual connection.

In the story, young Emma wakes from a nightmare feeling scared and alone. With her mother’s soothing voice and the loving presence of angels, she learns a simple yet powerful practice: whispering “Wings Up” and imagining angel wings forming a circle around her letting in only good thoughts (like butterflies, presents, and kitties) while keeping out fear and worry.
