Happy Birthday, Joy Cowley! May your day be filled with more laughter than a classroom reading "Bow Down Shadrach" and quieter moments than "The Silent One." Your timeless stories have sparked imaginations, warmed hearts, and occasionally caused parents to explain why they're giggling uncontrollably during bedtime readings.From exploring family struggles in novels like "Man of Straw" and "The Growing Season," you've shown us life's complexities with humor and grace. Here's hoping your birthday brings you as much joy as you've given countless readers—because let's face it, no one deserves a joyful celebration more than someone literally named Joy!
