The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be

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 colour to

• celebrate every child's one-of-a-kind strengths and differences
• embrace teamwork
• share our talents and abilities to make everything more beautiful
• 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

• children ages 4”“8
• grandparents, parents, teachers, and librarians
• classroom story times and discussions about diversity and being a good human being
• holiday or Christmas gift-giving, birthdays, graduations, 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.”
