Are you looking for happiness? Sometimes it can feel really far away, and sometimes you might have so much you can’t help but share. You can try to chase it, control it or capture it, but even if it seems like it’s gone for a while, you’ll know it’s never far away...
This is the second of Eva Eland's picture books that helps little ones deal with big emotions, following Sadness. Start on your journey with happiness... who knows where it could take you?
