Book preview

In my childhood

When I was a child I used to ask my mother to tell me a story, or sing me a song, and no matter how tired she was, she did because she loved us, my sister and me.

I think most parents fulfill that task, telling stories to their children, I did too. And so I let kids know, that parents tell stories because they love them.

A large quest

Mama Mama sing me a song

the one, I always want,

the story about your glory

how did you find me, and

how do you love me & guard me

And when I grow up I’ll be loving you

and guarding you mama,

I shall sing to you, and tell stories

to my children and you about them

and their glories, on the road of’

fruits & victories.
