From the timid snowman who once felt out of place to a brave leader guiding his forest friends, Gus's journey comes full circle in this moving finale.

Through courage, kindness, and the spirit of friendship, Gus and his companions discover that even the smallest light can chase away the darkest night.
Designed for independent readers ages 8-10, or as a magical read-aloud for families and classrooms, Gus and the Joy of the Morning delivers timeless lessons about empathy, teamwork, and emotional resilience. Its vivid illustrations and heartfelt storytelling make it a perfect addition to any child's bookshelf - especially for readers who believe in the power of hope and kindness.
The Joylight brings courage, friendship, and hope when all seems lost.
