In addition to being a home design mogul, Joanna Gaines is also an author, specifically focusing on children's books. Her newest book, The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be, a children's book that focuses on "celebrating who you are and embracing your gifts" (via People). Gaines says that her experience navigating her struggles as a child being bullied for her Korean background served as inspiration for this book. She is also inspired by her five children, who often appear in episodes of Fixer Upper.
"I think discovering who you are and what you were made to do is a lifelong journey," says the mom of five. "It seems to be a question we all find ourselves asking in different seasons of our lives, and for many of us, it starts when we are kids. I also think that because it can feel like a daunting question, for some it seems too intimidating to try to answer. But the beauty there is that we're all on this great adventure together."
