The happiness within you

*The Happiness Within You* is a tender, wise, and heartwarming picture book about hope, the joy of life, and the quiet strength that resides within every person. Kobi Yamada tells the story of a little duckling who sets out on a journey to rediscover happiness—not somewhere out there, but within himself. The story explores doubt, fears, courage, care, and the ability to listen to one’s own heart even in moments of uncertainty. The poetic text invites children and adults alike to reflect on happiness, self-confidence, and living in the here and now. Charles Santoso accompanies this journey with gentle, atmospheric illustrations that leave room for quiet reflection, conversation, and personal thoughts. The hardcover pocket edition makes a wonderful gift for a birthday, the first day of school, a new beginning, or simply as a loving keepsake: Happiness isn’t always loud, big, or perfect. Sometimes it begins right where we reconnect with ourselves.
