Compendium - We Needed A You

Celebrate how a special child brightens the world with We Needed a You.

“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.”Â

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. Written by award-winning author M.H. Clark and beautifully brought to life by illustrator Olivia Holden, this heartwarming hardcover picture book is a poetic reminder of how deeply a little one is loved.

Through tender rhyming text and vibrant, expressively layered artwork, it gives children a gentle glimpse of what the world was like before they arrived—a place that was perfectly pleasant, but missing a certain someone. It’s a beautiful bedtime read and an unforgettable gift to welcome a new baby, celebrate an adoptive family, or simply remind a child of their unique place in the world.
