GOLD MEDAL WINNER FROM MOM'S CHOICE AWARDS (MCA) FOR THE BEST FAMILY-FRIENDLY BOOK

While exploring her family's farmland with her horse, Champ, ten-year-old Joy, who recently moved to the countryside with her parents to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, rescues a caterpillar from harm. This act of kindness leads her into an extraordinary bond with a dazzling butterfly that later in the story emerges from its chrysalis.

Joy embarks on countless delightful adventures alongside the magical butterfly, her family and friends, schoolteacher, and beloved pets, all while discovering valuable life lessons along the way.

Most importantly, Joy learns that each day presents us with a blessed opportunity to learn, grow, live more fully, and optimize our well-being and happiness - provided we pay attention to the whispers of our hearts. You'll discover that each day comes to us bearing precious gifts and opportunities to thrive. We simply need to untie the ribbons! What are you waiting for?

Near the end of the captivating, life-enriching novelette, Joy discovers something wonderfully glorious, and she asks you to keep it a secret and not to tell anyone who hasn't read the book yet. Hint: It will totally enthrall you!

Joy & the Butterfly introduces readers to the magic of nature and a world filled with simple pleasures and blessings everywhere. Through life's ups and downs, Joy learns how to be courageous, brave, patient, and loving in everyday life.

Destined to be a timeless classic, this book highlights the importance of healthy family interactions, and why we need to share feelings, spend time in nature, count our blessings, be kind to ourself and others, let go of hurt, sadness, and fear, choose victory over victim-hood, and much more!

While reading skills vary, children ages seven and up can read it independently or aloud to others; children ages five to seven can read alongside an adult, while children two to five can be read to. Those under three can look at the riveting illustrations while the adult points out images of interest and tells the story.

In other words, this book will work for the young ones who can't read yet, for those children who are gifted at reading, and even for the young-at-heart - any adult who wants to be inspired by uplifting and very positive storylines. This book is for everyone!
