WE NEEDED A YOU

Written by M.H. Clark with art by Olivia Holden, this illustrated book combines poetic verse with expressive watercolor artwork to convey an important message: every child makes the world more beautiful.

The story begins, "Before you were here, there were people to love… to hold hands with and dance with and be with and hug." It continues, "something was missing. We needed a you." Each page celebrates how a child's arrival transforms everyday moments — making homes cozier, days brighter, and ordinary experiences richer.

Format: 40-page hardcover, 8.25" x 11.25", with a debossed cover and cloth spine details.
