Joanna Gaines follows up her No. 1 New York Times bestseller We Are the Gardeners, with a second children's book, illustrated by Julianna Swaney.
The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be follows a group of diverse children as they each build their very own hot-air balloons. As the kids work together, leaning in to their own skills and processes, to fill the sky with beautiful colours, we discover that the same is true for life - it's more beautiful when our differences are celebrated.
With plenty of pink, a bounty of blue, orange and green and yellow too, this vibrant hot-air balloon adventure celebrates every child's one-of-a-kind strengths as well as teamwork and acceptance of differences. This timeless message of sharing our individual gifts is especially important in our world today. Everything can be made more beautiful when we kindly share our talents and abilities, lend a helping hand, and do our best to take care of one another.
Together with Joanna, you and your kids will take a journey of growth and imagination as you learn in full colour that 'the world needs who you were made to be. Most of all, the world needs both you and me.'
