Some Excerpts from the Book:

“Papa tells me that I was an angel in God’s heaven, and then mom-dad requested God to allot me to them. Funnily enough, he agreed! So here I was, all set to enter the Earth – as my parents’ daughter, through my mom’s tummy! Having said that, my mom, like all other moms, is a sweetheart; she had everything catered for me in her tummy! Perhaps that is why they say ‘As God could not be everywhere, he made mothers!’ Here is my story, in my Mommy Tummy! Tummy Tales!”
