Sometimes God gives me ideas when I am in my bed. That's when He gave me the idea for this book. I wanted to write a book that would teach children that a developing baby in the womb is not just a piece of tissue but a human-created and formed in God's image. I wanted children to know that they were created special, even in their mother's womb (see Psalm 139:13b). The names Dayspring and Harah (pronounced haw-raw¿) are both from the Bible. Harah is a Hebrew word that means "to be or become pregnant, conceive." Dayspring is used in the New Testament (Luke 1:76-79) to describe Jesus as a light to a dark world. It means "the dawn." This story shows that even in the womb, babies are functional human beings and not simply a glob of tissue. To emphasize the fact that unborn babies are fully human from conception, I exaggerate certain aspects and actions of Dayspring. She talks and eats, she experiences feelings such as disgust, excitement, dizziness, and even smugness. Also, she is already developing her talent of gymnastics. Children who understand the value of life in a mother's womb will grow into adults who appreciate the lives of their own children. This, dear readers, is what I hope to accomplish with this book. --Indya A. Rennie (13 years of age)
