Where Happiness Hides Education Resources

  • Explore happiness with children using this amazing book!

    There is nothing more incredible than watching children explore language and imagery to develop an understanding of the sometimes difficult concept of emotion. This book is a story that invites you to find the mysterious places where happiness might be waiting for you. You won’t have to look too far… happiness is hiding right inside you. The story shows two children finding the keys to happiness in the small moments of their everyday life.

About the book and the authors

Written by Anthony Bertini, with illustrations by Jennifer Goldsmith, it shows the silver lining in every dark cloud. Bertini himself explains the project beautifully:

“This book will offer hope. It will be free to everyone in the world to read and enjoy as many times as they want. Yes, it is a children’s picture-book, and the story reflects what we tell our children every day: happiness can be found in simple things. But it is more than that. It is something we tell ourselves in times of hardship and worry. It is a story that helps all of us remember what is important."

Where Happiness Hides offers us, through simple and succinct storytelling, a reminder of how these moments of happiness can be found.
