Joanna Gaines’ Book is Inspired By Her Youngest Son, Crew
Joanna explained her inspiration for the book comes from her and Chip Gaines’ youngest son, 6-year-old Crew. “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 wrote in her caption.
“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 ✨,” Joanna added.
