Truly Happy - Paperback

by Stephanie Weaver (Author), Michaela Wyse (Illustrator)

This sweet rhyming book will teach your child that they can find joy in Jesus no matter what painful circumstances they face.

Recommended for children ages 5 and up.

Trigger Warning: This book addresses some heavy topics: poverty, chronic illness, grief from the loss of a loved one, loneliness, divorce, and disability.

This book may bring up pain for you or your child, particularly if you/they have experienced any of these specific hardships. The author's intent is that reading this book together with your child will allow you to have conversations with them in a safe environment where together, you can process and find healing from the pain.

And if any of these topics are struggles that your child has not had to experience, you can use this book to teach them to have compassion for those who do face such difficulties.

We all experience difficulties of one kind or another, but if God is our Father, we can experience fullness of joy in His presence.

Book Summary:

When you look at our broken world all around,

Poverty, sickness, hurt, and heartache abound.

We all face things that are hard to go through,

And you may struggle to keep a positive view.

But the children who you will meet in this book

Know where to find joy no matter how things look.

Nothing brings happiness like knowing God's love

And belonging to the heavenly Father above.

If you have God as your Daddy,

You can be truly happy.
