For IT HAD TO BE YOU: "A sweet and tender proclamation of parental predestination that will catch babies' eyes."
-- Kirkus Reviews
For IT HAD TO BE YOU: "An enchanting book with a simple message that's universal, comforting, and true. It Had to be You will captivate children and resonate in the heart of every adult."
-- Janet Lansbury, author of No Bad Kids
