About the Author

As a seventh grader, I had already decided that I wanted to become an optometrist to help people see better. But even before that, I knew I wanted to be a wife and mother. In 2006, God blessed me with a beautiful son and made my dream of becoming a mother come true. Being a first time mother, I was very nervous and unsure about what it takes to be a good mother. Thankfully, my mother came to visit with me for a few weeks to help me with the baby. Once, as I was bathing Jesiah in his little baby tub and trying my hardest to be ever so gentle, my mother said, “Make sure you wash in between his toes.” I thought maybe I had heard her wrong. How on earth could I possibly wash between those teeny, tiny little toes that were so unbelievably cute! I did my best. From then on during bath time, while putting on socks or shoes, reading his favorite book, or just because, I played with those tiny little toes to hear Jesiah giggle. And thus, Mommy Loves My Little Toes was born. I’m still learning day by day what it means to be a mother. My wish is that you and your child love reading this book as much I loved writing it. Enjoy!
