By Elsa John

When something deeply painful happens, children often struggle to understand where their joy has gone-and parents may wonder how to help them find it again. Ella Jo and Her

Broken Joy is a gentle, faith-filled story created for families navigating loss, disappointment, or big emotions.

As Ella Jo searches for her lost jewel of joy in all the places she thinks will fix her heart, young readers learn alongside her that lasting joy cannot be replaced or earned. Through a comforting Christian message, this story reassures children-and parents-that true joy is always found in Jesus, who lovingly restores what feels broken.
