“I just wanted to say how much I LOVE your beautiful book. I am currently 10 weeks pregnant with my first IVF bub. I read your book and it warmed my heart. I always wondered how I would tell my kids one day how they were made extra special and your book covers it all. I read it and cried. I then showed my mum and she cried too. It is absolutely perfect. Thank you for sharing it with us all”

"A fellow IVF mum recommended this book to me and what can I say, got this IVF Mumma in all the feels. This book will definitely help fuel conversations about where they came from and reinforce to them how special they are... and that magic really does exist. Thanks, we love our latest addition to the book shelf"

We've got a few very special books about IVF, rainbow babies, waiting, and siblings in heaven - these books are so very special for sharing the journey we went through with our daughter (and are continuing while trying to grow our family). Thank you for sharing your words so beautifully in the form of this book”
