Review Detail

Looking for Happiness is a cute children's story that points out that like adults, children can also have off, stressed out, or even sad days.

Perhaps I read into it more than my children did, but I enjoyed that the author essentially had this child who may (or may not) have depression, which is something many young people can related to. Try as you might, sometimes everything you usually do that brings you joy, just doesn't during these episodes.
I loved the grandmother! She showed compassion and had thoughtful behavior when speaking to our MC.

The illustrations are beautiful. They are bright and eye catching! I really liked how the illustrator showed distinct emotion on every face in the book, as well as the motion and activity.
