CHAPTER 1
My name is Brittany. God made me. He gave me a head with beautiful hair.
He put a brain in my head so I can think.
He gave me two eyes so I can see. I see beautiful things around me. I see the blue sky. I see the clouds moving slowly in the sky.
Sometimes the clouds are gray and sometimes they are white.
I see the flowers in the garden.
They are blue, red, green, and white. Some are tall and some are short. Each flower is so beautiful!
With my two eyes I see them all.
I see the parrots and the crows.
I see the roosters and the hens. The chicks run after the hens flapping their yellow wings.
I see the trees. The coconut trees are lined up on the beach.
The orange tree is different from the banana tree. They have different leaves and fruits.
A mango has a different shape than the grapefruit.
God gave me two ears. I listen and hear with my ears. I listen to Mommy as she reads to me every day.
