    About this ebook

    Joy’s Leap is the ultimate adventure of a baby bird’s journey from the safety of the nest, where she has the protection of her powerful, elegant, nurturing father, to the deep, dark, unknown influence of the forest floor. Little Joy is the smallest of the children, but she is the first to ever take a “leap of faith&rdq

    Sandy Shelby

    Sandy was born in the great state of Texas. She has worked with the mentally challenged and disabled since 2004. One day she wrote a fiction story using the names and personalities of the people she was currently serving, which made a few of her co-workers tell her to try to write a children's book. Sandy would write a few pages at night, usually after praying. It was the birth of her son in 2012 that gave her the passion she needed to finish the book. He truly was her inspiration. She felt that there needed to be more positive spiritual books for children, books that keep faith, hope, and love alive for her son and other children in such a fast, violent, judgmental, hateful world. Sandy hopes this will be the first of many books to follow that keep our faith alive.
