Happy Like Me

About the Book

What brings true happiness to a child? Is it sharing times with friends? Is it going to a circus? Is it just being held in a grandfather’s arms?

“Happy Like Me” is a wonderful depiction of simple childhood pleasures that can still be experienced in a world commanded by modern technology. Climbing trees, running in the backyard, playing with trucks and trains, or dolls and teddy bears, are just some of the activities children can continue to enjoy; moments that can be passed down to their own children as some of the happiest in their lives.

Illustrator, Pam Edevold, has beautifully captured the true expressions of joy on the faces of the children as they share these fun times with their friends and family.
