Surround Yourself : A Peaceful Picture Book about the Things That Make You Happy

By: Santos, Mona Liza

"Surround yourself with things that make your heart smile, and your days will shine a little brighter."

What if children learned early on that happiness isn't something they have to wait for - it's something they can choose, moment by moment?

In Surround Yourself, author Mona Liza Santos invites young readers and the grown-ups who love them to slow down, look around, and find joy in the little things. Through gentle rhymes and warm, dreamlike illustrations, this uplifting story reminds children that they have the power to fill their world with kindness, gratitude, and love.

From the sparkle of sunlight on a stream to laughter shared with caring friends, every page celebrates the simple moments that make life beautiful. Kids will discover that happiness isn't found in what they have, but in the way they see the world - and in the people and memories they choose to surround themselves with.

Perfect for ages 4-10, this heartfelt picture book encourages mindfulness, self-love, and emotional resilience in a way that feels real and relatable. It's a story families will return to again and again - a comforting reminder that joy is always close by, waiting to be noticed.

Surround Yourself is more than a book - it's a keepsake of calm, a celebration of kindness, and a quiet invitation to find beauty in everyday life.
