NEW YORK - Nyenta -- A Snowman's Courage Shines Bright - New Children's Book Gus and the Joy of the Morning Inspires Hope and Friendship
Author Cheryl Bogardus and illustrator Mindy Stein bring their heartwarming Joylight series to a touching conclusion with Gus and the Joy of the Morning — a beautifully illustrated story about courage, unity, and the light that shines within us all.
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. When darkness spreads and an evil owl threatens their world, Gus must learn to trust his own inner light — and inspire others to do the same. 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.
