Duke and Toby - A Song of Joy

A heartwarming children’s book about listening to the music of the universe and discovering their personal song 

When Mr. Hollis visits the farmhouse one evening, Duke and Toby curl up to listen to one of his stories. It’s a story about courage, laughter, and learning to find joy even when life feels uncertain. That night, the dogs begin to wonder what he meant when he said, “Life is like a song.”

The next day, they set out to listen. From the rustle of trees to the hum of bees, from the rhythm of chores to the roar of a summer storm, Duke and Toby learn that the world is never silent. Every life has a melody. You just have to hear it.

Duke and Toby: A Song of Joy is a beautifully illustrated picture book that teaches children the value of mindfulness, gratitude, and presence. Perfect for bedtime or classroom storytime, it gently reminds readers that joy is not something we chase—it is something we tune into every day.
