Finding Joy Written By Monique Hemmingson and Illustrated by Becky Kemps
What if joy is not something we have to buy or wait for, but something tamariki can learn to notice?
In Finding Joy, Lulu sets off on a treasure hunt to discover what makes her happy. What she finds is not a collection of shiny things, but time together, small adventures, friendship and the beauty of the natural world around her.
This gentle, beautifully illustrated story opens up easy conversations about noticing what feels good, slowing down and finding pleasure in ordinary moments.
A lovely choice for tamariki who:
• enjoy nature and outdoor adventures • are learning about gratitude and mindfulness • need help noticing what is going well • love quiet, thoughtful stories shared with someone close
