About the Author
Joy Harris-Bird is a Houston-based author, filmmaker, and creative entrepreneur whose work is rooted in faith, storytelling, and the belief that every life holds a story worth telling. She writes across age groups and genres because stories, she believes, do not know a single lane.
Her children's books celebrate identity, imagination, and emotional courage, giving young readers mirrors in which they see themselves fully and joyfully. Her adult titles, from devotionals to contemporary fiction, speak to women who are becoming, who are healing, and who are learning to love the person they are turning into.
Joy's work has earned recognition at film festivals and graced the pages of Sheen Magazine, Voyage Houston, and more. She is also the founder of JoyPark Studios, a Houston-based film and media production company, and the voice behind the Covenant Sounds channel. When she is not writing or in production, she is teaching, mentoring, and dreaming up what comes next.
