The Wonderful Things You Will Be

A gentle celebration of childhood, possibility, and unconditional love.

Written and illustrated by Emily Winfield Martin, The Wonderful Things You Will Be is a beautifully lyrical picture book exploring the hopes, dreams, and wonder parents hold for their children. Through poetic rhymes and whimsical illustrations, it honours individuality, kindness, creativity, courage, and all the little qualities that make each child uniquely themselves.

Tender and timeless, this is a story made for quiet bedtime reading, meaningful gifting, and returning to again and again as children grow.

With a stunning fold-out finale and heartfelt storytelling throughout, it’s a book that feels just as special for parents as it does for little readers.
