I Love You Gigi, Yes, but Not Like Jesus

By LeToya S. Bittle and MonaLisa Covington

Her granddaughter, Jaleahia, has many questions as most children her age do, and this book gives you answers to all of them. Royce also asks questions about death and why God allows it. With Gigi’s answers, she tries to wrap her little brain around what death is and why it happens to those we love. Ethyn also asks questions about the use of bad words and why some adults use them. Questions we as adults have trouble answering. Parent-child conversations today take place less and less with texting and emails being the way we communicate. This inquisitive little girl will bring a smile at times to your face because of her sweet innocence. Inside you will read conversations about “why I look different” and racism. They also talk about “why I feel so alone,” bullying, and trusting God. These are life lessons that children can take with them as they grow.

Dedication

I am blessed to dedicate this children’s book to three wonderful, beautiful, faithful little spiritual children and one grandchild. Also, to their parents and grandparents for allowing these little gifts from God to embark upon my sojourn and inspire my life with sooooo many amazing challenging questions that are teachable moments in my life. Parents and grandparents be careful what you say and do in the present of these little angels as well, because God has imparted great wisdom and worth in their extraordinary little elementary age minds.

I thank God for blessing my life to have a teachable character to love and cherish these priceless moments as a children’s message. I pray I am a beacon in their lives, JaLeahia, Biscuit, Ethyn, Royce, DJ and NaNa. My little friends’ parents, Travareous and LaToya, Jason and Morgan, Paulette(grandmother), Tia and Kai, Courtney and Rob (deceased), Mikesha and Jonathan and Sharrie and Darion.

My mother who gave me life, Bessie, my son Travareous and all of
