You’re Going to Need That Later: A Story About Gathering, Building, and Carrying What Matters

You’re Going to Need That Later A Story About Gathering, Building, and Carrying What Matters Some of the most important things we carry through life can’t be held in our hands. You’re Gonna Need That Later is a thoughtful, emotionally rich storybook about growing up, gathering life’s essential tools, and learning what truly matters along the way. Told through gentle narration and meaningful symbolism, this book invites readers of all ages to reflect on the quiet lessons we collect over time—kindness, courage, imagination… This is a coming-of-age story designed not just for children, but for families, caregivers, and anyone who believes emotional growth deserves just as much care as practical learning. Each page offers an opportunity for connection, conversation, and reflection, making it a timeless resource to return to again and again. Created to be read together or independently, You’re Gonna Need That Later helps readers understand that life doesn’t hand us everything at once. Instead, we gather what we need piece by piece—learning when to hold on, when to build, and when to carry something forward.
