This book (and the whole series) is such a wonderful resource for regulating emotions and learning how to deal with them in practical, fun ways! I love that it’s both doodling and journaling and can span across many ages! A must-have in every home!

Hello, Happy! is a fun activity book showing children how to look at feelings, how to identify them, and how to work through them. It has lots of space for drawing and writing for expressing one's thoughts. Not all activities require the book. It suggests scavenger walks and quiet exercises. There are also professional resources given. I agree with the 8+ age recommendation. Adults could benefit from this book, too.

We love this book. The first part of it is all about anger. It asks you to think about what makes you angry and gives you some ways to deal with it. Next it talks about sadness. Finally toward the end it talks about happiness. At first I wasn't sure what I thought of that configuration but concluded that we all have to deal with our anger and sadness in order to feel happiness. This is a great book. The coloring and activities make it fun and educational.
