A mother's story about the wait for the baby-after loss.
Tenderly told and beautifully illustrated, Waiting for You is a heartfelt children's book that walks hand-in-hand with families navigating the quiet, sacred wait after loss. Through gentle prose and soft imagery, author Emilie Kafer shares the emotional journey of a mother who longs, hopes, and prays for the child that is still to come.
Rooted in love and wrapped in faith, this story offers comfort and connection to children born after loss-often called rainbow babies-and to the parents who carry both grief and joy in their hearts. Waiting for You is a loving reminder that even in the waiting, even in the wondering, there is hope.
Inspired by Emilie's own experience as a small-town Iowa mom and written with a heart for healing, this book is a meaningful addition to any family's library. Perfect for bedtime reading, baby showers, or as a thoughtful gift for families experiencing pregnancy after loss, Waiting for You speaks to the enduring strength of a mother's love and the faith that carries us through.
For every parent who has waited with love.
