Little Joy is a happy baby. She smiles a lot. But her Mommy notices that, unlike other babies her age, Little Joy has not yet learned to laugh out loud. This book is for very young children. The story uses limited words, simple sentence structure and repeated sentences to encourage language acquisition. Its charming illustrations of a Caucasian family interacting with their adopted Chinese daughter impart one message: A heart with love has room enough for everyone.
