The Details
Written by M.H. Clark
Illustrated by Olivia Holden
An exquisite picture book that melds tender rhyming text 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.”
Let a little one know how much they matter, and celebrate how the world became a more vibrant place as soon as 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 connect with a child and tell them how deeply loved they are. Colorful illustrations invite readers to experience how their presence makes home cozier, days brighter, and ordinary moments fuller and more complete in countless ways.
Gift the book to welcome a new baby, celebrate an adoptive family, or enhance a child's library.
