My Heart is Laughing

In this stand-alone story in an acclaimed series for beginning readers that started with My Happy Life, Dani navigates a year at school with her trademark optimism—even when her best friend moves away.

"The My Happy Life series fills a gap of good reading for five- to seven-year-olds. It gives them a proper grown-up reading experience that is accessible but also has emotional weight." Julia Marshall, Publisher

Dani’s been trying her best to stay happy ever since her best friend Ella moved away. But when some girls in Dani’s class start being cruel to her, it starts a chain of rather unhappy events. It would all be okay if only Ella would move back.

My Heart is Laughing is a perfect story for children aged five and up, full of social-emotional learning and dry humour.

Young independent readers who like Kate DiCamillo or the Ivy and Bean series will be hooked on this 7-book series once they start.
