My name is Sara Hernandez, this is a true story about how my son/grandson first behaved, when we got him after his mother had passed away suddenly. He did not want to listen to anyone, he was mad at the world. I believed that maybe if we put it in a book it might reach others, who have been struggling with dealing with the loss of a parent. Sometimes in life when we are given a blow that turns our world around, it is hard to comprehend. Adjusting to the fact we needed each other has been a journey of trial and error. It is a blessing to be able to watch him grow up into a fine young man. When Jacob was in kindergarten, we read the story I had written to his class out loud for the very first time and there was so much laughter and snickering throughout the story that all of the students have thought it was all about them. As of today I have read it to several kindergarten classes and everyone has loved it.With the persistence of a special teacher Barbara Bean, I put it into a more interesting children's book hoping that someone else can get a good laugh out of an imaginary child's point of view., (a view where not listening to anyone is a prerogative and the only rules that exist are the child's rules). This book is dedicated to Jacob, who will find the dedication as a surprise since it includes our personal catch phrase, "There are always rules until the day you die."
