Press Room : Product Reviews
Recently, I was contacted by two moms who are producing a series of children’s
picture books and related products for ages 2-9 under Focus Friends, LLC.
I agreed to read their debut title Joy is the Greatest Gift and I’m
so glad that I did!
I think that Joy is the Greatest Gift would make a great gift for all kids, but especially for little girls. The main character Joyann shows children different ways to celebrate joy every day in practical ways (i.e. jumping barefoot in puddles, squishing sand between your toes, etc.). It is beautifully illustrated and shares a positive message (without being too “preachy”). I also like that at the end of the book, there is a page that allows the kids to write their own “Joy List”.
(Their second book, Appreciation Party, is expected to be released this fall.)
