A delightful picture book to be experienced between parent and child. While there are many books that speak of a parent's love for a child, My Very Wanted Child expands on this theme by sending the message that a child should feel not only loved, but also wanted. Enjoyed by virtually all parents and young children, those families who have experienced delayed parenting (e.g. through infertility or adoption) may be particularly touched by its message.
About The Author

Although she never intended on becoming an author, she shared a love poem that she wrote to her infant twins and subsequently followed the suggestions of friends and family to publish the poem in the form of a children's book.
