"We Needed a You" is a touching picture book that conveys a profound message of comfort and belonging through empathetic rhymes and expressive, layered art. It is aimed at children and teaches them how important they are: the world is so much greater with them in it. The story describes how, before their arrival, there were people who wanted to be loved and embraced, but something was missing – the child. This book, written by award-winning author M.H. Clark, offers an opportunity on every page to connect with a child and show them how deeply they are loved. The colorful illustrations invite readers to experience how their presence makes home cozier, days brighter, and everyday moments fuller and more complete. It is an ideal gift to welcome a newborn, celebrate an adoptive family, or enrich a children's library.
