Joy, to the World
Autor Kai Shappley, Lisa Bunkeren Hardback – 8 mai 2023 – vârsta până la 12 ani
Joy, a twelve-year-old trans girl, just moved to Texas with her mother and older brother. Her family has accepted Joy as the girl she is early in her transition, with little fuss, leaving Joy to explore her love of sports, competition, teamwork, school spirit, and worship.
But when she is told she’s off the cheerleading team, Joy wants to fight for her right to cheer. As her battle with the school board picks up momentum, Joy attracts support from kids all around the country . . . she even gets the attention of her hero, trans activist Kai Shappley.
Inspired by Kai’s own life, Joy, to the World is a timely story of living life to the fullest, celebrating and centering trans joy, courage, and resilience.

Recenzii
This is an inspiring story about Joy, of course, but really about the power of being your true authentic self, and the beauty that lies within fighting for yourself and for others. I would encourage every kid and their parents to dive into this beautiful book. — Megan Rapinoe Athlete Activist
At a time when media and society focus sharply on dividing us, this story reminds us of a universal truth: we are all more alike than we are different. “Joy, to the World” is a page-turner for audiences of all ages and is sure to inspire every reader to fight for their own rights and the rights of their friends. — Chris Mosier Trailblazing Transgender Athlete
It’s said that “readers are leaders,” but we must remember that writers are as well. Kai and Lisa are leading us all to love more as we listen and learn to the voices and lived experiences of trans students. May we all learn to be ourselves, tell our stories, and fight for others. Read this book, y’all! — Jed Dearybury Educator, Author, Illustrator
“Both heart warming and heart wrenching, this book truly captures a glimpse into the powers of Ms Kai Shappley. If the Dolly Parton references didn’t hook you, this story of Joy will. A love letter to all who choose to read it, I am excited to share this book with the world at large!” — Malia Baker
