I Am Happy
Age 3+
Picture Storybooks
The third in a funny new series from former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen.
This puppy is happy – so happy, it feels like dancing the waltz, doing somersaults, laughing out loud – and even climbing on a cloud! This fantastical flight of fancy captures the most joyful of toddler moods, encouraging children to explore their own imagination and celebrate their feelings. A terrifically uplifting read-aloud from the master of rhyme, Michael Rosen, is coupled with brilliantly bold illustrations from Robert Starling.

Joyful and exuberant
The Bookseller
Michael’s exuberant rhyming text and Robert Starling’s bold, energetic illustrations will surely act as an open invitation to youngsters to talk about and celebrate their own feelings. Great for sharing with individuals or in an early years setting.
