<p>"The illustrations are gorgeous, full of detail, humour, and vibrancy... The text is lyrical, simple and tender, instructive but friendly... The productive and interactive activities; the slowing down and focusing on how things feel, smell, appear; the emphasis on wellbeing and family; the lullaby meditative feel of the book; the diverse characters all make this a joyous book to celebrate. This Is Happy! is important and useful for the young child and all the family."</p>

School Reading List

<p>"Lyrically and engagingly written by Anna Ross with Debi Gliori capturing the rapturous moments the diverse cast of five families enjoy. Slow down and share this delightful book with the little ones in your life; it’s never too soon to introduce young children to mindfulness. Happiness can be found in the tiniest things, so long as we slow down and look carefully."</p>
