Boppa Paints Her Micro-Joys

In the author's second book, Boppa Paints Her Micro-Joys, Ms. Sugarbridge, Boppa's teacher, calls the students to the carpet to ask for suggestions for the Art activity. Boppa suggests to Ms. Sugarbridge that the class paint their micro-joys. Micro-joys are the small things that make you happy. Ms. Sugarbridge agreed, and Boppa and the other students ran to their easels to paint their micro-joys. Afterward, Ms. Sugarbridge asks the children to share their paintings with the class. When Boppa shares her painting, it incorporates many smiling faces, rich colors, a landmark, and great outdoor adventure activities that represent her micro-joys.This book is designed to encourage early literacy through color recognition, group interaction, and recognizing the significance of the small things surrounding us that bring us joy. Remarkably, bold illustrations by Travis A. Thompson help bring to life Boppa's experiences as she paints her micro-joys.
