Book Synopsis

Joy is the warm tingly feeling of the sun tickling your toes in the morning.
It''s the giggly, squiggly feeling when you are doing something silly.
Even when you wake to the rain and your joy is washed away, it''s waiting at the bottom of the puddle.

This is the story of two friends: the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Once two lonely boys on opposite sides of the world, they grew up to discover the joy in everyday life and spread their joy with the people around them.

Their message for every child is that joy is never far away. Even in hard times, joy never truly disappears. And when we share our joy with others, it grows inside us.

This picture book adaptation of the international bestseller, The Book of Joy, is full of the humour, friendship, and deep affection between two spiritual leaders. In challenging times, it is a timely reminder that joy is all around us, if only we know where to look.
