AUDIENCE APPEAL: MANY
The Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu were friends for many years. This is a companion book to their nonfiction book The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World. This children's version is filled with colorful enchanting illustrations about the power of joy. Joy can be found even when challenging things happen.
I love that 2 men from very different religions are best friends. They briefly give their backgrounds and how they became friends. They do a beautiful job of reminding the reader to look for joy in the journey.
This book is ethnically diverse. Tutu is an archbishop in East Africa and the Dahli Lama is a Tibetan monk. The illustrator paints a multiple diversity of cultures.
