Shanna is nine years old and spends much of her time in the hospital while being treated for cancer. Some days can feel long and difficult, but Shanna believes something important:
Being happy matters.
So she comes up with a wonderful idea.
What if the children in the hospital created their own parade?
Soon everyone is busy planning the Happy Day Parade. Friends decorate wheelchairs and wagons, dress in colorful costumes, and prepare surprises for the big celebration. Toy drums lead the way, balloons fill the halls, and laughter echoes through the hospital as the parade marches forward.
At the end of the parade there are ice cream sundaes, candy-filled pi atas, and one very special announcement: everyone is a winnerShanna's Parade is a joyful and uplifting picture book about:

the power of joy and laughter
Part of the inspiring Shanna Series, this story reminds children that even in difficult places, there are always reasons to celebrate.
