I have had a difficult time with anthologies, but this one was wonderful. I enjoyed all the stories of joy. Some of the stories did have feelings of sadness as well but the main focus was even with negative feelings and moments you can always find joy. I also loved the addition of a main storyline to sort of tie all the short stories together. A great middle grade anthology.
