A Story of Big Dreams, Amazing Adventures, and the Little Things that Matter Most

Ever since she was a little girl, Cora has dreamed of designing truly fantastical things, awe-inspiring structures that everyone recognizes as world wonders…and that’s exactly what she does!

As Cora ages and her accomplishments and acclaim grow, she returns to her hometown to fulfill her childhood dream—to transform the house on top of the hill into a true world wonder. In the process, Cora learns that living a meaningful life isn’t all about amazing achievements or always making bigger and better things, but about building community, giving generously of your time and talents, and loving others along the way.         

Vividly illustrated and imaginative, A World Wonder helps parents and educatorsencourage children to dream big but also to value wonder and beauty in the ordinary. Most important, young readers will learn that in a world of limitless possibility, it’s the bonds we form and the people we love that bring real meaning and satisfaction in life.

what makes life meaningful?

It's fun to dream big, but very few of us will realize all our dreams. Yet, perhaps if we look around with eyes to see, we’ll realize our regular, ordinary lives are actually filled with wonder. When we do, we’ll find the world holds more possibility, not less; our hearts rest, rather than search; and our lives are brighter, not duller. A World Wonder encourages each person to consider what makes a life well-lived and to appreciate the beauty that is right in front of them. 

it's often the small, humble things we do with the ones we love that bring  happiness and fulfillment to our lives. 

Takeaways for your child (and maybe you too!) from A world Wonder

  • A life well-lived isn’t primarily about achievements (though they matter), but more about knowing, loving, and building community with other people. 
  • A humble and quiet life is an honorable one—just because one lives small, doesn’t mean the world isn’t still filled with possibility and wonder.  
  • Dream big! Dreams can come true when you're willing to work and not give up. 
  • Using your gifts and talents can help others and bring joy to their lives.
  • No matter where you are, you can be hopeful and expectant about your dreams and your current circumstances.
