Beautiful picture book from a rising-star author and an acclaimed illustrator about finding happiness in small things.

Paint rainbow skies, plant seeds, smell the earth after it’s been woken up by raindrops, jump in puddles, stargaze on dark evenings, dance your heart out, share a book – and at the end of the day cuddle up and let yourself be held by arms that feel like home. This is Happy. Where do you find yours?

This is a joyful picture book for very young children, full of delight in the world, outdoors and indoors, showing how happiness can be found in the smallest things. The lyrical story and beautiful illustrations encourage children to slow down and use all their senses to notice and enjoy the natural world. Happiness is truly all around us.
