CREATE YOUR OWN HAPPY BY PENNY ALEXANDER AND BECKY GODDARD-HILL

Create Your Own Happy
Author: Penny Alexander and Becky Goddard-Hill
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 978-0-00-830121-7

There are self-help and wellness books around for adults at the moment, then there is this one. Designed with young children in mind, 7+ to be exact, Create Your Own Happy is part colouring book, part wellness, part inspiring yourself and helping others whose lives may not be as happy as yours. Then there's the chance to have a crack at helping the planet too.

It is set out in such a way that adults like me might want to read it and have fun with some of the activities Penny and Becky set out. I saw this on the shelf of my local WHSmith and the cover alone caught my eye. Penny and Becky fill it with anecdotes and quotes from famous people about what it is that made them happy, from John Lennon to Oprah Winfrey.

Create Your Own Happy was published back in 2018 before the Covid pandemic was even known of, but now that we are in a situation where we are in and out of lockdown, we need more happy in our lives, so this is an ideal book to perk us up.
