The story is about the color White, who feels inadequate when comparing itself to the other colors, but realizes it was special all along. The target audience for this book is 0-4 years, and it is excellent for reading out loud! The repetition in the text is simple, and the illustrations allow for learning of both colors and body parts.

Written and illustrated by Haley McAndrews, concept by Keith Mathias.

The ebook is 22 pages long. The illustrations are ink drawings on watercolor paper, painted with watercolors. It is available in both paperback (ISBN: 979-8-9851303-0-0) and ebook (ISBN: 979-8-9851303-1-7).

First edition November 2021, published by Red Stone Art Studio in the United States.

5-Star review from Reader's Favorite: "Even though If Only I Had seems like a simple book, there are multiple ways to use it with young children. Teachers and librarians can use it to teach colors and body parts, while also emphasizing the message of acceptance and appreciation of everyone's differences… The simplicity and clarity of the pictures are ideal for toddlers who will be able to understand and follow the story without getting lost in a lot of clutter. If Only I Had is a fun story with an important message. Kids are never too young to start learning to love and appreciate their uniqueness."
