Joy

by Corrinne Averiss, Isabelle Follath (Illustrator)

Overview

Emotional, funny, and uplifting, this exceptional picture book is guaranteed to bring joy into everyone's life.

Fern’s Nanna has not been herself of late. And when Mom remarks that all the joy seems to have gone out of her life, Fern decides to fetch the joy back. With her catching-kit at the ready, she goes to the park and finds joy in all sorts of unusual places. Whooooshh! But Fern soon realises that joy doesn’t fit in a bag, or a box, or a tin! How will she manage to bring some back to Nanna?

This wonderful book, the first from an exciting picture book duo, is a pure delight from start to finish.
