Father Knows Best: Hello God? It's Me, Joy Bomb - Children's Chapter Book Fiction for 8-12 - Silly but Serious Too!

What is God up to?

In this second book of the "Hello God" series, Joy and her family and friends continue to discover talking to God . . . and listening!

Something weird is going on in Joy's town, but nobody is talking about it. Well everyone is talking about it, but not with Joy. Eventually Joy uncovers a mysterious cylinder that just may hold some clues as to what is going on!

Joy even shares a few pages of her own personal prayer journal! (Can you even believe she would do that?)

The reviews are in from the series' introductory reading group, and kids are asking their grandparents for "One more chapter, PLEASE!" They found the topics explored in the books help kids to share about their own struggles, opening up dialogues and helping kids to understand and learn better ways to cope.

Kids and tweens are HUNGRY for spiritual food.

Give every child a safe place to learn, explore and express their thoughts, feelings and spiritual curiosity.

Joy and her friends are not being raised in Christian families, but these kids are seeking! The book series serves up a full serving of silliness alongside easy to swallow, serious main courses.

As readers follow Joy Bomb in her journey, they will pick up subtle lessons on effective coping skills and learn about a God who hears them and speaks. Joy shares pages from her own prayer journal which helps readers learn the power of unlocking thoughts and emotions and encourages them to do the same. An opportunity is given at the end of every story day for the reader to guess what Joy is feeling and circle or color the emoticon. This teaches young ones how to have empathy for others in a fun way!
