Customer Reviews

Makes a great gift

This is such a little jem. I love this book, it's so straight forward. It packs a LOT of great words of wisdom and life reminders in a small space. It's a great book to open when you are feeling down or just need a little lift in your spirits. I have given this as a gift many times and had great results. A good buy.

The Best!

Be Happy is a marvelous little book filled with "Darts to the Heart" ideas. Nothing to figure out, or process, just Truths presented in a whimsical fashion. This book is certain to put a smile on your face and a lightness in your heart.

Inspiring, whimsical, and funny

This author's illustrations are reminiscent of J.J. Sempe's. With just a few squiggles, she captures the beauty, loneliness, melancholy, and exhilaration of life. I highly recommend BE HAPPY as a gift for just about anyone or any occasion. It is also a great little book to have for oneself, whenever inspiration is needed.

Get happy!

I love this book! I purchased several for birthday and mothers day gifts, and the recipients all loved them too. The author has very inspiring, funny and unique illustrations (and some great "one-liners"). I pick the book up every few days and look at my favorites.... they are great!
