Rating: 3.5/5.0

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for this digital eARC! :)

This was very cute and I’m sure was much anticipated due to its author! I really loved the art most however! The story was cute and the message was nice, helping children be mindful of nature. It also showed how important and fun it can be to work together, since we all have different strengths and views.

I would definitely recommend it to friends and colleagues that have young children. But, I will not be adding it to my office, as I don’t think it would have use for me in therapy with the child clients I work with. Overall, it’s very cute though! And I think it would be a great part of a series on mindfulness for children. :)

Colorful book encouraging the creativity and wonder in children.
Would recommend for anyone who wants a beautiful book reminding us about the wide world around us.

The World Needs the Wonder You See by Joanna Gaines is an absolutely enchanting book that is sure to inspire children and adults alike! From the very first page, the adorable illustrations capture the imagination, bringing the message of the story to life with vibrant colors and heartwarming scenes. Each illustration beautifully complements the text, making it a delightful visual experience.

The book features a charming rhyming scheme that makes the reading flow effortlessly. This lyrical quality adds to its appeal, engaging young readers and making it a joy to read aloud. The rhythm of the words invites participation, creating a fun and interactive experience for families.

What truly stands out in this book is its emphasis on inclusivity and the importance of embracing one’s uniqueness. Joanna Gaines masterfully conveys the idea that every child has something special to contribute to the world. The uplifting message encourages readers to celebrate their individuality and recognize the beauty in others, fostering a sense of community and acceptance.

This book is not just a charming read; it’s a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we embrace our differences and share our gifts with the world. The combination of delightful illustrations, a captivating rhyming scheme, and an empowering message makes it a perfect addition to any child's bookshelf.

I wholeheartedly recommend The World Needs the Wonder You See to families looking for a touching story that promotes love, inclusivity, and the magic of being oneself. It’s a true gem that will leave a lasting impression on young readers!

I love the message in this story. The art is also beautiful! I will be reading thos to my 2nd grade students as well as my own children.

While the illustrations are lovely, the writing could have been stronger. It's clear the author has a message to send about curiosity, but it never seemed to gel into one cohesive message. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from Publishers Weekly's Grab a Galley giveaway, but unfortunately this is not a title I would buy as I tend to prefer stories to "message books".

A love letter to childish investigation and wonder, as several diverse children – one in a powered wheelchair – go out exploring the flower meadows, forests, underwater world, and heck even the rain-splashed puddles when it's wet out, just to see what they can find and learn from it. With enthusiasm to burn (and bloody good batteries in that wheelchair) they have an industrious spirit we in the real world could only aspire to, all without adult supervision. It's very well-intentioned, therefore, but does fall apart with any small level of cynicism, and the rhythm of the verse text is often quite erratic.

I really liked this book. The illustrations were phenomenal. There was a surprising amount of depth in the greenery, and in all the beams of natural light. I like the idea of more stories to encourage my children to get outside. My favorite part was the ants' "royal march."

Could not be any more beautiful! This is the pinnacle of children's picture books. The illustrations are perfect, imaginative, and just oh so lovely! The words you read aloud to your kids are beautiful, inspiring, and it gives you the warm and fuzzies on the inside. Yes, the parent feels it too, not just the kids!

I can't recommend this book enough. Every family should read it at least once. But I'm sure it will be more than just once.

This book was SO cute! I read it to my boys at lunch and they were so sad it ended. I think it could have used some more to the story. I feel the illustrations made up for the lack of more to the story. Overall this was a fun read with my boys.

This is what I would expect from a celebrity children's book. The illustrations are beautiful, and the words are inspirational. There is no plot and no real depth to the book.

The World Needs the Wonder You see is a charming picture book that is suitable for children and adults alike. In the current state of the world, the message of this book is so timely and offers readers a chance to step back from all the chaos and see the splendor and the beauty that is all around them if they really just look to see it. And everyone sees the world differently, which is okay! The world needs all the variety and the wonder.

A heart-warming and inspirational reminder that wonder and beauty are lying everywhere.
I loved this book! The message is needed in today's busy generation. I love how the author taught the principle of wonder through the eyes of children. The illustrations were gorgeous!
Great for a family to read together!

Obsessed with the illustrations in this one AND the story! I love how the illustrations are inclusive and diverse. This story is all about wonder, curiosity and adventure. I absolutely love the message about how what can seem mundane is full of magic and surprise when we look for it. Will absolutely be buying this one for my little!

Joanna Gaines strikes again! This is the second novel by Joanna Gaines that I have been able to read and review. Both are absolutely wonderful family stories. My children loved going on adventures with Crew and the other kids in the story. I loved the inclusiveness of the children in the pictures. All God's precious children, no matter the color or disability (wheelchair) were shown throughout. I will be adding this one to our bookshelf, along with the other from Joanna Gaines.

I found this title to hit home! For somebody who loves the little things, and enjoys spending my time out in nature, this was a wonderful book to share with my littles. Reminds us to stop and smell the roses. Illustrations were also very well done. Highly recommend.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book provided by the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

In our hustle and bustle world, this book reminds us to pause and look closely at nature. From the smallest creatures to the vastness of the sky, there’s so much to be thankful for on this earth we’re living in. “The Wonder You See” lets us borrow our children’s eyes in how they see nature from their perspective. As we grow older, we kind of lose that wonder. This book takes us back to our roots and makes us experience being children again.

I love this book so much! The illustration is fun and my daughter was drawn to it while I was reading it to her. I appreciate that they're inclusive of any race and the PWD - it is a good way to teach your child to be nice and empathetic. The story stimulates imagination and wonder. Will recommend to my momma friends 😄
Thank you Tommy Nelson publisher for the complimentary copy!

A truly wonderful children's book. I loved the diverse characters portrayed in the pages. Seeing disabled kids out and about always makes me happy. Boys holding hands? Yes please. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. I can see kids asking to have the pictures up on their walls. The message itself is wonderful, timely, and just up my alley.
Now, if you'll excuse me, there are some wonders I need to behold.

Thank you to Harpercollins and Netgalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest reviews!

What a precious book highlighting the amazing wonder of a child’s mind. When we look through the eyes of a child, we see so much more in our world. I love the whimsical and creative illustrations that fit the text so well. My daughter especially enjoyed the page depicting the creatures underground and the under the sea page. I love that this book is just a sweet book that would work well for a quiet snuggle time story, but it is also one that children would enjoy hunting through the pictures for tiny creative creatures. It is truly a book that would be perfect for gifting to a special child in your life. The illustrations depict children of all abilities and just shows the true magic of viewing the world through the eyes of a child. I highly recommend this book.
