We Needed a You

This exquisite picture book melds tender rhyming words with expressively layered artwork to deliver a profound message of comfort and belonging every child needs to hear: The world is more magnificent with YOU in it!"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." -An excerpt from We Needed a You
