A CHILDREN’S BOOK TO CELEBRATE HOW A CHILD BRIGHTENS THE WORLD

Written by M.H. Clark / Illustrated by Olivia Holden

“Before you were here, there were people to love…
to hold hands with and dance with and be with and hug.
There were good friends and best friends and family too.
But something was missing. We needed a you.”

When a child enters your life, everything changes. The whole world instantly becomes brighter, bigger, and fuller in every way, just because they’re in it.

This is an opportunity to let a little one know how much they matter, and how nothing has quite been the same since they arrived.

Written by award-winning children’s book author M.H. Clark (from books such as You Belong Here, Everywhere, Still, and Tiny, Perfect Things), each page of this poetic book is a chance to tell a child how deeply loved they are.

Flip through the colourful illustrations at bedtime to give a child a glimpse of the world before they arrived — one that was perfectly pleasant but missing a certain someone. Then let that special child know that their presence makes ordinary moments fuller and more complete in countless, extraordinary ways.
