The Invitation
Children naturally notice beauty. They stop for butterflies, marvel at clouds, laugh at bubbles, and wonder about alligators.
Grown-ups often hurry past those same gifts without seeing them.
Joy’s Adventures grew out of learning to slow down again—to notice, to wonder, and to give thanks. These stories are an invitation to children and to the grown-ups reading beside them.
About Jessica
Jessica Joy Miller is a writer, mother, and storyteller who loves helping children discover the beauty, humor, and wonder in the world around them. Joy’s Adventures grew from real family experiences and from watching her daughter Joy meet the world with curiosity, humor, and wonder. Her books are inspired by family adventures, meaningful relationships, faith, and the places and people that have shaped her life.
Mission
To create stories that inspire children—and the grown-ups reading with them—to notice beauty, wonder at God’s world, find Him in the ordinary, and live with greater joy.
I aim to be honest, gentle, and hopeful; to celebrate the wonder of childhood and the beauty of the world; and to point toward light without losing the joy of discovery.
Stories That Give Back
For our first picture book, Joy’s Adventures in Florida: Alligators, net proceeds from book sales will be donated to support ministry work in India.
My hope is that the wonder and joy these stories bring to children can also become a small way to share kindness and love with others around the world.
