About Joy

A tender and imaginative story about a quiet girl named Joy — and how stories help her find her voice.

About Joy invites readers into the inner world of a young girl who loves stories — both reading them and writing her own. Joy spends her days with her nose in a book, weaving wonderful worlds of imagination. But when it’s her turn to step into the spotlight, she runs off the stage. Why?

Through this gentle, introspective story, children are reminded that courage doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes, it’s found in the quiet moments when we dare to dream, create, and share a piece of ourselves with the world.

Written with warmth and empathy, About Joy celebrates creativity, sensitivity, and the beauty of being uniquely yourself — an encouraging story for any child who has ever felt small, shy, or unseen.
