Every day is a gift in this exuberant picture book about finding happiness in life's small moments.
My arms aren't big enough to hold the whole world . . .But when I feel this happy, it's all I want to do!
My voice isn't loud enough to express this joy!
Why isn't there a word for feeling this alive?

Reveling in simple wonders with unbridled enthusiasm, This Joy! celebrates living with arms wide open--because today is a gift!
