Savannah Guthrie's new children's book is generating quite a buzz. With its February 2025 release date, it has become a highly anticipated addition to the literary world. The book not only offers beautiful illustrations but also conveys a powerful message of love and faith. It is now available for preorder, allowing eager readers to secure their copies well in advance.
The announcement on the Today Show brought the book to the forefront, and Guthrie's enthusiasm for the project is palpable. She shared an early look at the illustrations, adding to the excitement. Readers who purchase the book as a gift through its website will receive a complimentary downloadable poster and gift tag, making it an even more special gift.
Guthrie's journey in writing 'Mostly What God Does' was a rewarding one. As she spoke with PEOPLE in February 2024, she opened up about how the essay collection spilled out of her. Even before signing a contract, she was immersed in the writing and thinking process. The entire experience was exciting, thrilling, and felt incredibly alive.
She emphasized that even if the book hadn't materialized, the process and the journey had been moving, personal, and valuable. It was a time when she felt a deep connection with God, as she shared, "I felt like I was learning so much that even if there never was a book at the end of it, the process and the journey was so moving and personal and valuable. It felt like, in a way, something that was happening between me and God."
Guthrie, known for her previous children's books like 'Princesses Wear Pants' and 'Princesses Save the World', drew on her own life experiences in writing this book. She shared how the death of her father when she was a teenager influenced her writing. It allowed her to reflect on difficult moments and find solace in her faith.
"I think that when you read the book, you recognize that I'm a definite worrier, and there's no question about that. My faith has been the biggest antidote to that," she said. "That doesn't mean I don't worry, or I sit around and it's a state of rapture all day long with not a care in the world. No. It just means I bring my worries to God."
This book serves as a reminder of the importance of faith and how it can help us navigate through life's challenges. It offers a message of hope and love that can resonate with readers of all ages.
