If you're happy and you know it...

Happy is a great feeling, and now it's an easy feeling to share thanks to a new book called Get Happy. Author Malachy Doyle and illustrator Caroline Uff (Happy Birthday, Lulu!) combine simple text and hug-able pictures to model the best choices to turn a sad situation into a happy one. While the reassuring illustrations and inviting tone work well for bedtime, share Get Happy anytime you and your preschooler need to "Sniffle less" and "Snuggle more!"
