What makes us happy? How can we contribute to our own happiness as well as to the happiness of others? And how can we instill happiness and optimism as a way of life in children? The ten stories in this large-format book provide numerous ideas for playfully approaching these questions. Based on scientific findings from positive psychology and the worldwide bestseller "The World Book of Happiness," happiness expert Leo Bormans embarks on a quest for true happiness with the little ones, telling the tales of ten special birds with unique traits who learn to embrace life in a more open and optimistic way. Each chapter is dedicated to a "key to happiness" and concludes with questions and prompts for further discussions, as well as small tasks.
