Joy Stories™ is a series of metaphorical bedtime stories and positive messages designed to raise self-esteem in children. Each story features a central animal character that also comes as a soft finger puppet for extra value. Soothing background music contains powerful messages to strengthen confidence building and problem solving. These stories are effective in audio format because the absence of visual material will encourages your child to participate by using their imagination. Bedtime is a great time for Joy Stories™ as it can help your child to reflect and focus their minds on positive thoughts. Under the Lily Pad is the story of a community of frogs, fish and other wonderful pond creatures. The main character, a curious frog, explores what life is like living in a diverse community. The frog models the importance of family and to appreciate that all creatures must learn to cooperate. Your child will enjoy this story as they learn more about what lives under the lily pad.
