Chapter One

Gabrielle Rae, Who do you want to be today?

Mommy, I want to be an Astronaut and fly high to the moon,

Around the milky-way in a spaceship, jump over the cow with the spoon.

I want to kiss the stars that sparkle in the nighttime sky.

And ride a comet back home to have a chocolate moon pie.

Or maybe I want to be a Party Planner and make all kid parties bright and fun.

Baby is celebrating with jungle animals, a safari vacation when he turns one.

I will make a party special for ballerinas or super-heroes, whatever you like.

And have a colorful piñata, cake and ice cream, and a clown with balloons, riding a bike.

Gabrielle Rae

who do you want to be today?

Mommy, I want to be a Teacher and help kids learn more.

One, two, three, ring-around-the-rosey and fall on the floor.

ABCDEFG.... Reading books out loud like Princess and the Pea.

I want to reach out and show all kids to dream big just like me.

(Continues...)
