**This sweet and playful board book features bold, high-contrast black-and-white illustrations that babies can actually see!**

_New York_ magazine's The Strategist chose _It Had to Be You_ as one of the "Best (Nonobvious) Baby Books to Bring to a Shower." As The Strategist stated: **"**Because of its high-contrast color scheme (with red accents), it's easy for babies to see the illustrations. Plus, the lyrical text is a love poem to the child that's as soothing and sweet as a lullaby."

With lyrical text from parent to baby, _It Had to Be You_ is perfect for fans of _I've Loved You Since Forever_ and _Guess How Much I Love You._ A must-have addition to every baby's nursery and a perfect gift for baby showers, Mother's Day, and Father's Day.

_For every one of our wishes, for every bump along the way, now that you're here, we've known all along...it had to be YOU!_
