Where Happiness Begins
Age 4+
Picture Books
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. Start on your journey with happiness... who knows where it could take you?

A gorgeous joy-filled book… the illustrations are exquisite, conveying a wonderful message that Happiness, in the end, begins with you.

[G]entle yet profound… so much is ‘said’ through the carefully designed images. An outstanding book about big emotions.
Irish Independent
Where Happiness Begins will encourage empathy as children start to understand their own and the emotions of others.
