Publisher's Synopsis
Why Can't Life Stay the Same?
In this third book of the 'Hello God' series, Joy, her family and friends continue talking to God . . . and listening!
There are so many changes in Joy's world, her head is spinning. She likes things the way they are, but with Middle School just around the corner, she is struggling with keeping up with everyone's expectations.
Then, in a sudden change of events, Joy's dreams suddenly all come true, but to her surprise they end up a bit more like a nightmare!
Can God fix her mess?
Joy's life is far from perfect, but her heart is sincere and full of questions.These kids are new to all this God stuff but they are finding that the spiritual world is anything BUT boring! Joy even shares a few pages of her own personal prayer journal! (Can you even believe she would do that?!) Kids and tweens are HUNGRY for spiritual food. Give every child a safe place to learn, explore and express their thoughts, feelings and spiritual curiosity.
Joy and her friends are not being raised in Christian families, but these kids are seeking! The book series serves up a full serving of silliness alongside easy to swallow, serious main courses. As readers follow Joy Bomb in her journey, they will pick up subtle lessons on effective coping skills and learn about a God who hears them and speaks. Joy shares pages from her own prayer journal which helps readers learn the power of unlocking thoughts and emotions and encourages them to do the same. An opportunity is given at the end of every story day for the reader to guess what Joy is feeling and circle or color the emoticon. This teaches young ones how to have empathy for others in a fun way!
