Joanna Gaines is writing her second children’s book.
The former co-star of the HGTV show Fixer Upper will publish The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be this fall, People magazine reports.
Gaines announced the book, illustrated by Julianna Swaney, on her Instagram account, writing, “I wanted my new children’s book to say the very thing that I needed to hear as a kid…The world needs who you were made to be—with all of the kindness and strength and unique qualities that make you who you are.”
According to a page for the book on the website for Magnolia, the home decor online market that Gaines runs with her husband, Chip Gaines, the book “tells the story of a group of kids who come together to build their very own hot air balloons. Along the way, these kids learn to work together, leaning in to their own skills and processes, to fill the sky with beautiful colors.”
“This book is more than just a sweet story about a group of kids building their hot air balloons for a big adventure,” Gaines wrote in a blog post. “It’s a declaration for seeing and celebrating the differences in one another. It’s a proclamation for loving the person next to you for who they are as well as loving yourself for who you are.”
The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be, published by Thomas Nelson, is slated for release on Nov. 10.
