MOUNTAIN MUTTS – JOY’S TALE
PICTURE BOOK
Julie Stephens
Synopsis
Mountain Mutts – Joy’s Tale is a charming story of life and death, as seen through the eyes of two beautiful shelties and a wonderful read aloud to your children, as a family or to a class of students. Parents and teachers alike will enjoy the life lessons woven throughout the story, including tolerance, death, sadness, joy, helping others, the excitement of learning and the always relevant qualities of kindness and diversity.
Eloquently, the author describes in both words and photography, how puppy Joy ultimately wins reluctant Spring’s friendship.
The book connects with all dog lovers.

I did a reading and was so pleased to see how Mountain Mutts – Joy’s Tale is such a big hit with the local school children. I am always taking photographs and was able to create this true story from my photos.
