Shiloh

9/20/2015

 
"When I was a little baby, my mom and I always said the prayer 'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.' When my mom passed away, I went to live with my grandparents, and I asked my grandma who wrote that prayer. She said that she didn't know, that her grandmother had taught it to her when she was little. I said, 'That's an old prayer then. It's time for a new one,' and I wrote one and called it 'Shiloh's Prayer' and it got published as a children's book. I dedicated it to my mom."

At the age of 5, Shiloh lost her mother to cancer. When the book, Shiloh's Prayer, was published in 2014, the young author sent a copy to First Lady Michelle Obama, who responded with an invitation to the White House. Shiloh and her grandparents will travel to Washington, D.C. in the spring of 2016, where Shiloh will sign Mrs. Obama's copy of the book. Shiloh has just turned nine years old.
