Joyce will receive a Christopher Award in New York. His book, "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," will be recognized alongside other books, films, and television/cable shows that live up to the highest values of the human spirit, according to the Christophers.
On Friday, Joyce's new animated film "Epic" will debut in Shreveport. It’s inspired by his book “The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs.” The VIP screening will include a talk by Joyce and screenwriter James Hart.
