Get Happy

Written by Malachy Doyle; Illustrated by Caroline Uff

Book Description

A delightfully simple book that teaches kids the true meaning of happiness

Tease less . . . tickle more!
Shout less . . . sing more!

Worry less . . . wonder more!

With a cheerful message about sharing, giving, and being kind to others, Get Happy will show any child how to turn a frown into a giggle, spread the joy around, and live life to the fullest. Perfect for the youngest of readers, it won't be long before everyone knows how to get happy!


“Doyle's intentions are honorable, and his clear opposites are aspirational. Uff’s artwork displays Helen Oxenbury–esque warmth.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The childlike illustrations of round-headed, dot-eyed people are appealing and depict a multiethnic cast…The layout works well, and the pictures do a good job of portraying the emotions and actions in the minimalistic text.” – —School Library Journal

“Provides a roadmap to a less fraught home life--for kids willing to follow its advice.” —Publisher's Weekly
