In the nationally bestselling book, The Joy Exchange, Laura Hope Whitaker invites readers into a world where belonging is the rule, not the exception. With over two decades of experience as CEO of Extra Special People (ESP, Inc.), she shares the transformative experiences that have been created for individuals with disabilities and their families, which have changed communities for the better.
The Joy Parade, the book tour celebration of The Joy Exchange, will take Laura and Java Joy's Joyristas across the country to spread the mission of ESP.
From February until May, you can catch our team serving coffee, signing books, and giving hugs as we spread joy nationwide!​
