Joy's World Bilingual Books

Praise for Joy's World ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Perfect for giving kids a glimpse at life in another country.

    Joy’s World: The Cousins are Coming is a delightful book that is perfect for opening up the world to young readers. The story is a peek into little Joy’s life in Istanbul. She is excited to show her cousins around her favorite places in the city while teaching them Turkish words and phrases. The illustrations are delightful and will captivate young readers. Makes a great gift, too!

  • A needed cross cultural example.

    So many kids come from third culture realities and have family and background in multiple places. I'm thankful this author took time to demonstrate those two lived spaces and love the dedication to Joy at the front.

  • Great Teaching Tool!

    This is a cleverly written book to engage a child in learning words in a different language. I especially liked the glossary, which will be fun for my granddaughter to use when she is old enough to read the book by herself. The illustrations are colorful and interesting. I'm hoping the author will add an English/Portugese edition!
