Chloe's dress made a soft swishing sound as she skipped down the forest path toward home. It was a trip she made daily to and from school. She was familiar with its sounds, its smells, and the soft carpet o pine needles that crunched beneath her feet. Itwas always a peaceful, happy walk home.
This day, her stride was noticeably longer and faster, "cuz she was 'a fix'in to get "the purdest thing she had ever seen." It was her birthday and her Ma had a special present for her.
"Mmmmmm," she said to herself, as she felt inside the bag. "This ain't no ribbon." Her little hand still probing inside the bag touched something that felt like nothing she had ever touched before. While holding onto the bag tightly with one hand, she pullit "it" out, carefully with the other.

About the Author
This is Tomme’s first book, and rightly so. It was a gift from God in 2005. She was very aware it was God’s vision that prompted her to put it on paper. In 2008, she had it copyrighted. and waited until God said to her: “My child, it is time. We cannot wait a moment longer. All my children need to be reminded they are loved. Take it to the World.”
