JJ's Journey: Are You OK?
What happens when the funny one isn't feeling funny anymore?
John Jr. (JJ) is the class clown. He loves making people laugh, telling silly jokes, and keeping everyone smiling. At school, he's known for his goofy answers and playful personality. At home, he loves teasing his little sister Olivia with his favorite question:
Are you OK?
But one morning, something feels different.
JJ doesn't want to get out of bed. He isn't sick. He doesn't have a fever. He just doesn't feel like himself, and he doesn't know why.
When Olivia notices that her usually cheerful big brother is unusually quiet, she asks him the very same question he has asked her so many times before:
Are you OK?
Through the love and support of family, caring adults, and a little sister who refuses to stop checking on him, JJ begins to learn an important lesson: it's okay not to feel okay.
JJ's Journey: Are You OK? is a heartfelt and beautifully illustrated children's book that helps young readers understand emotions, recognize changes in how they feel, and learn that asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness. With warmth, humor, and honesty, the story gently explores sadness, emotional well-being, grief, self-awareness, and resilience in a way children can understand.
Perfect for parents, teachers, counselors, caregivers, churches, schools, and libraries, this story encourages meaningful conversations about mental health and emotional wellness while reassuring children that they are never alone.
This special edition also includes:
- Coloring pages featuring JJ and Olivia
- A reflection page where children can write about their feelings
- A fun maze activity
- A Where To Get Help resource page with family-friendly support information
- Bonus reader and author content
Written by Tiffany James and inspired by real-life family experiences, JJ's Journey: Are You OK? reminds children that everyone has hard days sometimes-even the funny ones-and that healing often begins with a simple question:
Are you OK?
Recommended for ages 4-8.
