Joy Ride

I’m incredibly honored by this book review from @lorislittlelibrary Thank you SO MUCH.

A perfect read for the end of the school year and beginning of summer and most importantly a perfect read for those days where we feel someone has stolen our joy.

Joy Ride written by @sherririnker and illustrated by Ana Ramirez González introduces us to Joy who doesn’t feel very joyful once her “friends” tease her because of the bike she fixed up with the help of her grandpa. The bike exudes joyfulness but the other kids make fun of it. Instead of speaking up, she ditches the bike in the woods in a angry fit. However, after some time she comes to realize that her bike was awesome & she wants to feel the joy that came from fixing the bike & riding the bike. Guess what she finds when she gets the bike back? Her joy of course!

Find your joy and don’t care about what anyone else says! If you love something & it makes you happy then do that thing! That’s a lesson best learned young!

The illustrations are as joyful as the bike. There bright, bold & colourful. The illustrations feel like summer and I’m all in for that!
