WHERE HAPPINESS LIVES by Barry Timms. This gorgeously illustrated Little Tiger Press title with flaps to lift and peepthrough pages is not only a smile-inducing picture book but also a wonderful way to engage children in discussions of happiness. It explores contentment, materialism and teaches us that more is not always better. I especially loved that it reminds us that you might just have all that you already need. It made me take time to pause, take stock of what I already have, and find happiness there. In a world of “too much”, a title like this reminds us of what really matters. A terrific addition to any home or classroom bookshelf.
