In this self-help book for youngsters, Carlson describes ways to "make yourself happy." She divides her tips into categories such as "speaking up for yourself!" and "taking care of your body!" and suggests activities for each ("Go for a bike ride"). This well-meaning book, illustrated with Carlson's signature animals and bright colors and patterns, may prove useful to readers seeking emotional guidance.
