Description

Finding joy in everyday moments can make all the difference.

We can learn a lot about joy from a dog. At least, that's what Abuela tells Nico when he visits her and her dog, Kiki.

Nico's not so sure-- Kiki doesn't have to deal with schoolwork. Or chores. Or early bedtimes!

Readers can follow along as Nico discovers the power of paying attention to and appreciating what's right in front of him.

Our brains are wired to focus on negative things. They're excellent at noticing what's not going well. The good news is that we can do something about it!

Finding Joy reminds kids to pause and practice looking for the small delights all around. Making the effort to find joy also cultivates mindfulness and gratitude.

Finding Joy is part of the Growing Hearts & Minds picture book series. It's a perfect addition to your home or school social-emotional library!
