Overview
New York Times bestselling author Joanna Gaines welcomes you on an imaginative adventure through nature’s small surprises and invites you and your children to be curious, slow down, and take in everyday wonders. With vibrant art by Julianna Swaney that is full of dreamy details, this whimsical picture book will inspire your family to pause busy schedules and explore together.
Inspired by Joanna’s young son’s insistence to “look up!” and the shift to a slower perspective she enjoyed after having her last child, this book shares the delight of taking a friend by the hand, getting your boots muddy, and discovering the secrets just waiting to be uncovered.
In The World Needs the Wonder You See, you and your kids will
- slow your pace, look closely, and find joy as you make discoveries together;
- join a diverse cast of children on a journey below leaves, amidst treetops, under ocean waves, through rabbits’ tunnels, and into the clouds;
- imagine hidden worlds in which ladybugs live in tiny cabins, snails journey through mushroom fields, and stars paint stories across the sky; and
- learn to notice the amazing beauty that children naturally see.
This companion book to The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be is perfect for
- children ages 4–8;
- grandparents, parents, teachers, and librarians;
- classroom story times and discussions about valuing others’ ideas and perspectives;
- households that enjoy watching Chip and Joanna on Magnolia Network and HGTV’s Fixer Upper; and
- holiday or Christmas gift-giving, birthdays, graduations, or other celebrations.
