JENNI DESMOND
JOY



1/2
Walker Books, June 2019
Written by Yasmeen Ismail and illustrated by Jenni Desmond
(Jenni's illustrations are created primarily by hand using watercolour, acrylic, pencil crayon, pen and pencil. They are sometimes lightly finished digitally)
A delightfully upbeat read-aloud picture book, perfect to share with very young children.
“Bounce bounce, ding-a-ling, ring ring, let’s sing! I feel joy!”
From an award-winning author and illustrator pairing comes an irresistibly energetic read-aloud picture book. Join the bouncy little kitten as she plays with her favourite toy and – uh oh – falls down with a trip-trip-slip. But with a little hug, a kiss and a squeeze, she’s going to be just fine. A truly joyful celebration of the love between parent and child.
★ "A satisfying, full-fledged story that deftly accommodates the short attention spans and kinetic needs of young listeners."
STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews
