The World Needs Who You were Made to Be celebrates how creativity and acceptance can come together to make for a bright and beautiful adventure. It 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; and
• end a helping hand and do our best to show kindness and take care of one another.

Through playful rhymes and colourful illustrations, this spirited book gives children new tools to understand the range of their emotions and express themselves to family, teachers, friends, and themselves.
