Joy expertly guides the reader through a meditative and pensive look at the winter season, counting blessings and finding the light among even the seemingly darkest moments. Although winter may bring snow, awkward greetings, and burnt toast, Joy invites us to reconsider these moments for their beauty and the goodness that they may also carry.

Full of beautiful images, expressive language, and lovely sentiments, this book shines with the grace and splendor of winter. Joy truly embodies her name as she leads the reader through the majesty of the holidays and the gifts of the season.

By radio DJ Kathy Joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e: A wonderful coffee table type book just for the pictures, but combined with poetic language it is a book for every room and everyone you know. Perfect for all ages, from the pre-reader child to the retired adult. I was intrigued by the fact that she used three images of beauty a day to help herself overcome the grief and trauma of her husband's sudden death. I cried when I read Breath of Joy! The words and pictures were so beautiful. I found myself taking time to focus on each page and just breathe in the sights and roll the words over the taste buds of my mind. I just cannot get over how beautiful it is. Savor this example: \"Tree-trimmed, brick-cobbled streets... wide, uncomplicated beaches... and daddies cooking dinner while whistling.\" Now combine that with crisp, color-filled images, and you catch a breath of joy. I hope that Kathy puts out similar books for the other three seasons: spring, fall, and winter. The perfect book for anyone who loves words or pictures or who needs cheering up. Birthday or Christmas gift, anyone? Well done, Kathy Joy! - Ashley Tetzlaff, Assistant Librarian This is an amazing book. I had friends read it as well and we all agree that it captures our hearts and brings back great memories. - Edith Burchardt, retired Billing Manager, Cranbrook, British Columbia Five Stars! Each piece of work delves into the mundane and turns it into the extraordinary. After the tragic loss of her husband and family farm, Joy tasked herself with observing three things each day that brought her joy. Now with Breath of Joy! Simply Summer she invites the reader on a journey of wonder and favorite things as she dives into what truly makes us human and connects all of us together. - Kayti Nika Raet, Readers' Favorite Reviewer What is summer? Joy answers the question with each photograph found within this book. There are the moments shared with two happy youngsters reveling in the freedom of the summer, an hour spent rapt in a good book on a long, lazy afternoon, and the endless summer feel of the shorelines that curve around blue vistas of curling waves. Throughout this collection is the theme of the road trip, the car loaded down for an adventure, complete with camper top, navigating along \"rain-soaked ribbons of black pearl,\" and following \"the lazy, winding licorice of a vacation highway.\" And, though it always does seem to be an endless summer with its long lazy days, the \"swirling dry leaf\" and profusion of fallen leaves in vibrant hues seems to signal the coming of autumn and its attendant magic. - Jack Magnus, Goodreads Reviewer Publisher Marketing : Breathe in the joy of summer with a classy, happiness-filled novelty gift book. A coffee table book that couples as a children's book. A Five-Star Readers' Favorite. Hang onto your sun hat. SIMPLY SUMMER IS SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE. For ages 6-8, read-to-me.
