This book is another gift from our Lord, who has blessed me with the resources to bring it into print. I would like to share with you how the cover of this book, came about. One morning as I gazed from my front window; at the sunrise the view of Gods reflection in nature touched my whole being. I went for my camera, to capture the beauty, but found it could not portray the glorious and awesome display of creation and His presence in every aspect of my life. I hope you, my family, and friends, and all those who will read the words written will come to see His gifts in each and every moment.

Featuring the same unique flip-book design and universal message that made I Love You More a bestseller, this companion book brings the same beautiful lyricism to a new dual idea: A child is a gift to the world, and the world is a gift to a child. Evoking all that makes a child unique, the book then mirrors with the world's special gifts-from mountains to seas to life itself. Inspirational as well as gorgeously written, both poems reach the same moving conclusion: A child in the world is the greatest gift of all. Praise for I Love You More: "I can just see an adult and a kid giggling away, flipping the book over and taking turns reading to get to the middle and a big fat hug... Sweet, simple examples that a little one with a big heart will understand." -Alyne Ellis, AARP Radio Network

I have another chance to live again. —Mary Walker, Chicago, Illinois The book His Gift to Me is an interesting read. It pulls the reader into its pages and transports them to live, for a short while, within its storyline and message.
