Joanna Gaines is releasing a new children’s book! Inspired by her youngest son, Crew, the upcoming release, titled The World Needs the Wonder You See, is “all about the everyday beauty and surprise that kids are so naturally drawn to seek out and discover,” the Fixer Upper alum wrote in an announcement on Instagram. Fans—parents, teachers, and even adults without kids—flooded the comments section with messages of their excitement for the book, which will be published in 2025.
Gaines explained that years of admiring the way Crew moves through the world inspired the book. On the cover, there's an illustration of curious kids and animals wandering through a forest. “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,” she wrote. “But I also wrote it for me, and for anyone who could use a reminder that wonder awaits us too.”
While technically a children’s book, the story is really for everyone. “I don’t think it’s ever too late to live with our eyes wide open and our hearts expectant for wonder,” Gaines added.
Many parents shared that they relate to Gaines’s sentiment and plan to read this book to their own kids. One wrote: “This sounds so sweet! I’ve always admired hearing and seeing the world through my children’s eyes. Can’t wait to see what childhood magic unfolds in this book!”
Teachers also chimed in to say they’re eager to get their hands on the book. “I cannot wait to add this to my classroom,” one person wrote.
Another added, “I can’t wait to read this book to my students! What a beautiful cover page!”

Fans can preorder the book through Amazon or the Magnolia website ahead of its release date on January 28, 2025.
