Happiness Around the World by Kate Baker and Wazza Pink - OPTIONAL

Happiness Around the World: A Global Guide to Joyfulness by Kate Baker, illustrated by Wazza Pink.  NON FICTION Lonely Planet. 2022. $16. 9781838695118 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Different cultures find joy and happiness in different ways. This book explores how people around the world find happiness. In Italy for example, families take an evening walk and in Australia elders pass on stories to the younger generation. 

The illustrations are bright and happy. I enjoyed learning how different cultures find joy in the simply things in life. There are few issues with the layout of the book. There is a typo on the Finland page. The book description mentions Turkey, Denmark and India. Those countries, however, are not covered in the book.
