The plan was to get rid of everything that made him sad. but what he found out when he tried to get rid of sadness was a very, very big lesson in happiness. This book helps children face and even celebrate their emotions, even the uncomfortable ones, as parts of the whole experience of being alive.

"Happiness is a skill we can teach our children and ourselves, and it's easier than we think," says Rob Goldblatt, PsyD, who offers his first lesson in happiness with this book.
