How Jackson Found His Joy Again

De: Patrice Karst, Kristina Jones - illustrator

Narrado por: Patrice Karst

From the author of the bestselling phenomenon The Invisible String comes a transformative picture book to help listeners of all ages move through sadness and embrace life’s colors.

Jackson has always been chock-full of joy and vibrant colors. But now his joy has dimmed and his colors are fading. It happens so slowly at first that Jackson barely seems to notice. But without all his colors, he feels gray and empty inside. Until one day when someone offers a few words of advice that changes everything: Each day, look for one color you see outside, and think about how it makes you feel.

Patrice Karst, author of the modern classic The Invisible String, shows readers how step by step, color by color, joy can return—and shine even more brightly than before—if we pay close attention to the world around us. Additional notes from Dr. Dana Wyss, PhD provide further guidance toward a path to recovery.
