  <description><![CDATA[ <p>Blair Underwood, known to millions as a star of television and film, has delivered brilliant performances as a lawyer in <em>L.A. Law</em> and as a love interest in <em>Sex and the City;</em> currently, he is the voice of the title character in Nick at Nite's <em>Fatherhood.</em> But his proudest accomplishment is being a loving husband and father of three children who keep him in touch with the true meaning of life -- not fame, but family.<p>When Blair Underwood's young son told him the dream he had about &quot;the last night before there are no more mornings and no more nights,&quot; Underwood asked him, &quot;Who told you that?&quot; His son replied, &quot;God told me when he made me, but I only had one ear at the time, so I could only hear a little.&quot; Through conversations with family and friends, Underwood discovered how very often people have children who say things that have &quot;left them with their jaws on the floor.&quot; As a consequence, he and Donyell Kennedy-McCullough created a Website as a destination for others to share their profound moments with children. The response from people all over the world was tremendous and led to the creation of <em>Before I Got Here,</em> a collection of the best of the conversations and stories from people's responses to the Website, revealing just how brilliant and spiritually in tune our children can be.<p><em>Before I Got Here</em> makes you smile in the tradition of Art Linkletter's and Bill Cosby's <em>Kids Say the Darndest Things,</em> and inspires -- with the wonderful photographs of children taken by coauthor Donyell Kennedy-McCullough.<p>This book is a wonderful gift for ourselves and others, showing the inherent wisdom that children possess, with the power to astound us and change our lives.<p> </p></p></p></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[ <p>Blair Underwood, known to millions as a star of television and film, has delivered brilliant performances as a lawyer in <em>L.A. Law</em> and as a love interest in <em>Sex and the City;</em> currently, he is the voice of the title character in Nick at Nite's <em>Fatherhood.</em> But his proudest accomplishment is being a loving husband and father of three children who keep him in touch with the true meaning of life -- not fame, but family.<p>When Blair Underwood's young son told him the dream he had about &quot;the last night before there are no more mornings and no more nights,&quot; Underwood asked him, &quot;Who told you that?&quot; His son replied, &quot;God told me when he made me, but I only had one ear at the time, so I could only hear a little.&quot; Through conversations with family and friends, Underwood discovered how very often people have children who say things that have &quot;left them with their jaws on the floor.&quot; As a consequence, he and Donyell Kennedy-McCullough created a Website as a destination for others to share their profound moments with children. The response from people all over the world was tremendous and led to the creation of <em>Before I Got Here,</em> a collection of the best of the conversations and stories from people's responses to the Website, revealing just how brilliant and spiritually in tune our children can be.<p><em>Before I Got Here</em> makes you smile in the tradition of Art Linkletter's and Bill Cosby's <em>Kids Say the Darndest Things,</em> and inspires -- with the wonderful photographs of children taken by coauthor Donyell Kennedy-McCullough.<p>This book is a wonderful gift for ourselves and others, showing the inherent wisdom that children possess, with the power to astound us and change our lives.<p> </p></p></p></p></p>]]>
