Children's book: The World Needs the Wonder You See



About the book:
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.

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; andlearn to notice the amazing beauty that children naturally see.T his companion book to The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be is perfect for children ages 4–8.

Celebrate the wonder of the world through a child’s eyes in this imaginative book about all the beauty, hope, and surprise hiding in plain sight. Look up. Lean in. Bend low. Reach for new heights. Every day, from every place, there’s more to see in this great big world of possibility.

My thoughts:
This book has a good message for children and adults alike.  Often as adults we are no longer curious as we once were.  This book reminds the reader the value of paying attention to the world and nature around you.  How much more will you see if you just take time to notice?  Children are better at this than adults I think!  

This is a beautifully illustrated book to read with your chid.  It would be a good conversation starter for elementary aged children about what they noticed in their world.  For younger children the illustrations will provide opportunities to talk and use new vocabulary words.  


I received a copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to provide a positive review.

Have a day of blessings!
