Review of "Joy Is the Greatest Gift" Book

We all have days where we get a bit grumpy. Maybe we just can't get our "chin up" and look at the world in a positive way. How do you get out of that slump? You take a moment to learn about JOY!

The sweetest and most enlightening children's book I've read in forever has made quite an impression on my children. It has also taught me some things that I had forgotten were important to me. Joy Is the Greatest Gift is the first book by Lisa Rey Marks in the Focus Friends series. The words alone will show your child how joy can be had in a simple, yet personal way. The illustrations will further capture their imagination and bring the story to life, leaving a beautiful impression on young minds -- one that is sure to make children giggle and parents breathe easier.

This book (with it's simple message and delightful main character) acknowledges that everyone has a bad day, and there is nothing wrong with it. It goes on, however, to encourage positive behavior that brings about true happiness. More quality content than "feel-good fluff," this is a precious read that is sure to become a favorite.
