In the #1 New York Times bestseller, The World Needs Who You Were
Made to Be, Joanna Gaines celebrates how creativity and acceptance can
come together to make for a bright and beautiful adventure. The book,
illustrated by Julianna Swaney, follows a group of children as they each
build their very own hot-air balloons. As the kids work together,
leaning into their own skills and processes, we discover that the same
is true for life--it's more beautiful and vibrant when our differences
are celebrated.
Together with Joanna, you and your kids will take a journey of growth
and imagination as you learn in full color to
- celebrate every child's one-of-a-kind strengths and differences;
- embrace teamwork;
- share our talents and abilities to make everything more beautiful; and
- lend a helping hand and do our best to show kindness and take care of
one another.
The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be is a vibrant picture book
perfect for
- ages 4-8;
- grandparents, parents, teachers, and librarians;
- classroom story times and discussions about diversity and being a good
human being;
- households that enjoy watching Chip and Joanna on Magnolia Network and
HGTV's Fixer Upper; and
- holiday or Christmas gift-giving, birthdays, or other celebrations.
With plenty of pink, a bounty of blue, orange and green and yellow too,
this vibrant hot-air balloon adventure celebrates every child and
teaches kids that we are in this together. "You're one of a kind, and
it's so clear to see: The world needs who you were made to be."
