Precious One tells the story of two parents longing for a child, their journey through waiting, hope, and faith, and the ultimate arrival of their baby boy. The book unfolds like a tender love letter from mother and father to their child, Ezra, who was born after eight years of anticipation. Each page gently narrates a new milestone—prayers, doctor visits, nursery preparation, and finally, birth—culminating in the joyful moment when their baby enters the world.

The writing is straightforward, soft, and honest, but its simplicity doesn’t water down the emotional punch. There’s a sincerity here that feels deeply personal, almost like I was being let in on a family secret or reading someone’s cherished diary. The pacing mirrors the act of waiting—slow, patient, filled with hope and small moments of quiet love. I appreciated how the story honors not just the child’s arrival but the path it took to get there. The words carry a warm, whispered comfort.

What really got to me were the little touches—the lullabies sung to a belly, the counting of fingers and toes, the image of parents dancing in a doctor’s office. These details made the story feel real. It’s heartfelt and raw in the most wholesome way. Some might find it overly sentimental, but to me, that’s kind of the point. It’s a story for parents who’ve waited, who’ve prayed, and who finally get to hold their dream in their arms. The message? That love doesn’t rush. It waits.

Precious One, You Were Worth The Wait to families, especially those who’ve struggled with fertility or waited a long time for their child. It’s ideal for parents reading to their toddlers, as well as for children to understand just how treasured they are. If you’ve ever longed for something with your whole heart, this book will speak to you.
