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 . . .

Reviews
[G]entle yet profound… so much is ‘said’ through the carefully designed images. An outstanding book about big emotions.
Irish Independent
A gorgeous joy-filled book… the illustrations are exquisite, conveying a wonderful message that Happiness, in the end, begins with you.
A stunning picture book dealing with big emotions for little people… it will encourage empathy as children start to understand their own and the emotions of others, as well as being a satisfying book to read.
