Mama, I Want to Be Like You Dejah Fields

Mothers and daughters have a very close and special relationship. Every little girl's dream is to be like their mother, and so it is with the main character of this book. Her mother teaches her many things about life. She instructs her on how to love, give and care for others. This book came to me while I was writing another book for women and the issues that they face in life. I had been researching the Bible and praying for some time about that project when God stopped me and gave me the title to this book (Mama, I want to Be Like You). I felt impressed that I would dedicate this book to someone special. At that moment I was driving my car so I pulled off of the road and wrote this entire children's book exactly as I was inspired. Later that day, my daughter informed me that she was expecting a baby and I immediately understood what God had shown me. This book would be dedicated to my grandchild as well as my mother, who died when I was young. Mama, I want to Be Like You honors my mother and also celebrates my first grandson Asher. It is a legacy that I can leave for him and hopefully bless other as well.
