The Little Book of Joy

Two little boys who grew up on opposite sides of the world shared a lot in common. Both grew up sad and lonely but discovered that finding joy in little things made them happy. His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote this book to share their wisdom with children. Despite hardships, sorrow, and dark times, joy is just around the corner and will find you again. And once you let in joy, your heart will expand to make room for more joy.

This is a wonderful book to read to children who are usually full of joy, but this is a great and timely book for adults as well. This book is a great reminder that focusing on all the crazy stuff that is going on in our world will just fill you with hate and anger. Find the joy that is around you and focus on it, and spread it. Happiness is contagious! I love the art in this book. It is very vibrant and colorful and bursting with liveliness and joy. I highly recommend this book to all families with children because everyone can use a reminder to find joy in their lives.
