BOOK DEDICATION

FROM

CAMILLE’S MOM AND DAD

To God, who has blessed us with this precious gift called Camille. She is truly a gem and we love her more and more every day.

To Camille (our dear Cami, as we call her). This is really for you. We have loved all your writings and really wanted to compile them for you. You are definitely a shining star! Continue to reach for the skies!

To all our loving family, friends and loved ones who have played multiple roles in Camille’s life. Indeed, it takes a village to raise a child and we are grateful to be surrounded by such a caring village like you.

To all Camille’s teachers and caregivers, from daycare to preschool to elementary school. Especially to the wonderful teachers and caregivers at MacAfee Road Elementary School, who have played a tremendous role in shaping Camille into a beautiful young lady. Words cannot express our gratitude. You’ve done a great job and should all be truly proud of yourselves.

GOOD FOR SUNDAY

Miss Christeen had three grandchildren: Justice, Stanley, and Rick. Justice was the oldest and her brothers were quite younger than her.

Let’s make Christeen a build-it puppet, said Justice, their sister.

No! her brothers said. We need to ask Mrs. Polina, the puppet show owner.

Mrs. Polina? said a voice.

It’s me! yelled Justice. She never gives me puppets. She is mean to me!

No! shouted Mrs. Polina. You may not have puppets! Not by their brainy-brain-brain!

The kids ran and ran and ran. They ran to Grandma’s again. They ran out of the puppet show.

Oh, Grandma dear, said
