About Joy - My Classmate Series

About Joy is about a girl who finds comfort in the world of stories. Joy prefers to keep to herself, always lost in a book, but there’s more to her than meets the eye. Why did she run off the stage during the awards ceremony? What is the story behind her quiet nature?

Loss comes in many forms, and grief is not always easy to see. Through Joy’s journey, this book gently explores the impact of losing a parent and the ways we can offer hope and comfort to those in pain.

By Singaporean author Ames Chen, About Joy is a heartfelt story about healing, understanding, and the power of stories to bring light in difficult times.

Each book has been hand signed by Ames :)

Do we notice that classmate sitting in the corner? Or the classmate everyone makes fun of and who eats alone during recess? What does it mean to look beneath the surface and show kindness in love?

Do you have a classmate from a different family background or culture? My Classmate is a series about classmates like these, whom others have difficulty getting to know. Will you be the brave one to take the first step to befriend them? The books in this series will show you how!
