The Jar of Happiness

32 pp. | Child's Play | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-84643-729-8 $16.99
(3) K-3 Meg has invented her own happiness ("it smelled of warm cookies and the ocean"), which she keeps in a jar. She takes it with her everywhere, sharing happiness with friends and family members. When Meg's jar goes missing, it's the others' turn to cheer her up. Warm, expressive illustrations capture Meg's emotions; the antics of a cat unmentioned in the text add humor.
