"Precious One: You Were Worth The Wait" is more than a children’s book—it’s a celebration of hope, patience, and the overwhelming joy of a dream fulfilled. As someone who also waited nine years for my own precious little one, every page of this book resonated deeply with my heart.

Yvonne Sundberg captures the raw emotions of the journey to parenthood—the aching sadness of waiting, the breathtaking surprise of hope, and the overwhelming love that makes every moment of longing worth it. The simple yet powerful storytelling, paired with tender moments like Mama counting tiny fingers and toes, brought tears to my eyes.

This book is a treasure for any parent who has ever waited, prayed, and dared to believe in miracles. It’s a beautiful reminder that the most precious gifts in life are worth every second of the wait.

If you’ve ever held your own “Precious One” after years of hoping, or if you know someone walking the path of longing and hope, this book will speak to your soul. A must-read, must-share, and must-cherish story.

This is the most beautifully written and illustrated book about the journey of a mom and dad who wanted a baby more than anything and the waiting they had to endure. It is easy to read and understand. The colors are so calming and the illustrations are beautiful. This is the perfect gift for moms and dads waiting the arrival of their precious baby. I love that there is a place for parents to put their baby’s picture.

Yvonne, I just finished reading the book. It is WONDERFUL! The book is a testament to a mother's longing and a father's joy when given the greatest gift in life, a child.

You can feel the love and thankfulness for the precious little miracle and how he made their lives complete. This is the perfect bedtime story and a chance to count those fingers and toes one more time.

The illustrations are beautifully done. I can see you and Robbie.
