Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Be Happy! by Maddy Bard, a delightful children's book, is praised for its engaging way of promoting mindfulness and happiness through compelling illustrations and narratives. The book uses two dogs, Hucky and Buzz, to demonstrate how small acts like gratitude and self-belief can lead to contentment. While the book encourages reflection and emotional expression in young readers, some advice is viewed as more moralistic than mindful. The illustrations are noted for their simplicity and effectiveness in capturing children's imagination, and the book is seen as resonating deeply with the 0-5 age group.
