There was once a big mountain. The people on one side were rich and worked only to get richer. The people on the other side of the mountain were poor but had a wealth of stories and laughter.

One day, a poor young boy decides to seek a new story, and this leads him to the rich people's marketplace. He would love one of the ripe pieces of fruit, but what can a poor boy trade?

Find out if it is possible to bottle and share happiness in this timeless fable, exquisitely illustrated in an eye-opening and unusual style.

A Bottle of Happiness by Pippa Goodhart is a delightful story that explores the true meaning of wealth and happiness.
