Love That Changes Sadness to Joy Shirley R Smith

Four-year-old Sydney is very sad when her father, a paramedic and first responder, dies from COVID-19. She and her mom miss him so much, and they try to comfort each other.

One day, Sydney starts taking piano lessons, begins to sing in a church choir, and realizes the power of Jesus' love. She finds her sadness turning to pure joy through music, worship, and her faith in God. Sydney desires the same experience for her mom.

Love that Changes Sadness to Joy shares a story of hope as a child and her mother journey through grief, finding the rainbow at the end of their journey.
