Bloomsbury presents Ways to Share Joy by Renée Watson, read by Sisi Aisha Johnson.

Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Author Award winner Renée Watson continues her charming young middle grade series starring Ryan Hart, a girl who is pure spirit and sunshine.

Ryan Hart is caught in the middle. She has an older brother and a new baby sister, and she’s in a friendship tug-of-war with two friends who both want to be her best best friend. How can Ryan think about being kind to a classmate who is relentless with his teasing? Or be her signature sunny self when her brother, Ray, pulls the ultimate prank?

But even when it seems like nothing is going her way, Ryan still looks for a way to see the bright side of things, refusing to let anything steal her joy, and finding ways to share it with everyone she meets.

Move over Ramona Quimby, Portland has another neighbor you have to meet!

Beautifully rendered. . . . A strong start to a new middle-grade series.
A fresh beginning to a new chapter book series featuring a girl who can coax out sunshine from behind the darkest storm.
