Joy is the warm, tingling feeling of the sun tickling your toes in the morning. It’s the giggly, wobbly sensation when you do something silly. Even when you wake up to rain and your joy has been washed away, it waits at the bottom of the puddle. This is the story of two friends: the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Once two lonely boys on opposite sides of the world, they grew up to discover joy in everyday life and to share that joy with those around them. Their message to every child is that joy is never far away. Even in difficult times, joy never truly disappears. And when we share our joy with others, it grows within us. This picture book adaptation of the international bestseller "The Book of Joy" is filled with humor, friendship, and deep affection between two spiritual leaders. In challenging times, it serves as a timely reminder that joy is all around us if we only know where to look. Vibrantly illustrated by award-winning Rafael López, this is the perfect book to soothe and inspire young readers everywhere.
