- Get a Special Verse for a Child In Your LifeI would love to write a verse for a child in your life and send it to you. Here’s how:
- Post a photo with your book on social media anytime this week. Tag me at @valariekaur and #WorldOfWonderBook.
- Then, send me a direct message (DM) on Instagram with the first name of the child the book is for & their favorite animal. That’s it!
- I will craft a special verse and DM you back! It will be a personal voice memo your child can listen to.
- Last day to send requests is Monday, Aug 26th!
For example, my children’s names are Kavi and Ananda and they just saw whales for the first time. With that information, I craft a little verse just for them, like a special extension of the book:
Boat on the seaWatching for whalesKavi and AnandaSpot their tails
Wonder Baby says:Wow! Woah!You’re a part of meI don’t yet know
Yes, I make up new verses for my children all the time! About ducks and seals and sloths and giant hibiscus flowers. So, making little verses for the children in your life will bring me so much joy.
Thank you for going on this journey with me. Wonder is the conduit to love: it creates the conditions for kindness, care, and courage. May this book inspire the wonder inside the children in your life — and inside of you!
Yours,
Valarie

About the Book: World of Wonder invites us on a journey with Wonder Baby. We wonder about the earth and discover the awe that inspires care. We wonder about people suffering injustice and find that listening to stories inspires courage. We wonder about someone who inflicts cruelty—and discover the power of repair and connection. Wonder Baby wonders about their own emotions, even when tears come pouring down: “You are a part of me I don’t yet know.” Wonder becomes the conduit to love: it creates the conditions for kindness, care, and courage.
