A new story is coming to your bedtime story routine courtesy of Joanna Gaines! On Monday, September 16, Joanna announced her upcoming children’s book, The World Needs the Wonder You See, releasing January 28, 2025.
“Years of admiring the way Crew moves through the world inspired an idea for a children’s book all about the everyday beauty and surprise that kids are so naturally drawn to seek out and discover,” Joanna revealed on Instagram. “I wanted to write this story in part for Crew—as a thank you for all of the times he has walked me back to the richer side of life. But I also wrote it for me, and for anyone who could use a reminder that wonder awaits us too. I don’t think it’s ever too late to live with our eyes wide open and our hearts expectant for wonder.”
Naturally, fans couldn’t help but swoon over the news, and the inspiration behind it.
“I have never seen such intentional parenting and watching your little guy grow into who he is meant to be at each stage… what a gift to him and I’m sure all your children,” one fan exclaimed in the comments section. “This truly is how everyone should be brought up!!! Crew is getting so big,” someone else remarked. “Your kids are the best parts of you and Chip. You are the sweetest, most loving and genuine family. God bless you all,” another fan commented. “Looking so forward to sharing with my Grandchildren!!! You’re such a gift, Joanna Gaines,” someone else beamed. Another commenter said, “Im obsessed with all your books! Thanks for keeping the world WONDER-FULL ❤️”
The World Needs the Wonder You See is Joanna’s third children’s book, behind The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be and We Are The Gardeners. All of her children’s books focus on the endearing principle of encouraging kids to be present and to discover the magic of the natural world around them.
The World Needs the Wonder You See is currently available for preorder.
