Jovie's Journey

Jovie's Journey: A Story About Feelings, Friendship, and Finding JoyWhen Jovie the pup loses her favorite red ball, she sets off across a meadow to find it.Along the way, she meets new friends-a duck, a goat, a fox, a mouse, and a heron-each with a story about losing something and finding peace in a different way.Through their gentle wisdom, Jovie learns that sometimes what we lose helps us find something even more precious: calm, friendship, and joy.Inspired by the teachings of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, Jovie's Journey helps children understand that it's not what happens that makes us sad-it's how we think about it.This beautifully written story introduces mindfulness and emotional awareness in a warm, easy way that children and adults can share together.
