A Story That Gives Back

The joy of this adventure doesn’t end with the last page!

Net proceeds from sales of Joy’s Adventures in Florida: Alligators will be donated to support ministry work in India.

My hope is that a story inspired by our family’s adventures will not only bring joy and wonder to children who read it, but also become a small way to share kindness and love with others around the world.

Thank you for being part of that story!

An adventure of friendship, hospitality, and discovering beauty across cultures.

When three-year-old Joy asks her mommy about Kurdistan, a simple cup of tea becomes the beginning of an extraordinary journey.

Along the way, she meets new friends, learns about different traditions and beliefs, and discovers that kindness and friendship can cross cultures and languages.

Inspired by the author’s own experiences living in Iraqi Kurdistan, this beautifully illustrated picture book celebrates the people, places, and friendships that leave lasting impressions on our hearts.
