Inside you’ll meet 11-year-old Liddy Hakoun, a first-time author (her book, Peg & Fetch features an adventure-bound pirate and her mischievous monkey who learn about Jesus) and  Girl Like You who loves smiling, bringing joy to others … and her cuddly cats!

The chuckles continue as we share the super-funny stories (and favorite jokes) sent in by our readers, along with a bursting-at-the-seams LOL page!

This joy-filled issue also includes great advice for girls on finding the joy in our lives and how we can share it with others. We learn about the value of laughter in our faith–and our health. And our STEMgirl page has hilarious practical jokes you can play while also learning about the science behind them!

There’s no better way to start your new year adventure than with our LOL Issue. And our wish is that you’ll be laughing all the way through, remembering that:

The cheerful heart has a continual feast!  PROVERBS 15:15
