Publisher's Synopsis
I am thankful to God for granting me the knowledge that I should be aware of and appreciate all of His creations, the sun, moon, and trees, even right down to the green grass that grows underneath my feet. I found these things to be absolutely amazing and beautiful. Even as a small child, one could find me playing outside, on my knees in the grass, discovering the different weeds that grew right there on the ground; each had its own individual beauty. One day, Mama found me playing around in what I thought was grass. She came over to where I was playing and kneeled down to point out the clovers. Then she said to me, "Hey, you are playing in a clover patch. Did you know that?" I turned to look at her as she spoke to me and got the feeling that what she was about to tell me would be of great substance. I didn't know anything about this patch of clover but my mind was racing with the impact of her announcement. I could not have known that what she was about to tell me would impact my life forever. She then explained how most have three leaves."However," she said, "If you're a lucky li'l girl, you will find that lucky clovers have four leaves." I took a quick glance at the clovers in an effort to see if I could quickly find one with four leaves, but all I could see were clovers that had three leaves. I thought to myself, "is this some kind of joke?" Then Mama went on to tell me this fascinating story of the clovers. She explained how easy it was to find the three-leaf clovers and stated, "Sometimes it will take days or even weeks to find a four-leaf clover. Some claim to never have found one. But if and when you do, it is said that it represents good luck for you." She wasn't finished and went on to explain the significance of each leaf of a four-leaf clover.
