Looking for Happy
by Ty Chapman, Illustrated by Keenon Ferrell

Every day is different. Some days everything goes right—you’re in the groove and feeling like yourself.

But some days, it’s a lot harder to find happy because everything is just blah. Sometimes everything that should be fun just feels … flat. A young boy is having one of those dreary days, and nothing seems to help. But after trying his grandmother’s way to shake the blues also fails, he discovers that happiness is easiest to find when you’re not looking.

This picture book gently reminds readers that it’s normal to have happy and sad days and normalizes speaking about emotions and seeking help. Heartfelt and hopeful, the story models emotional intelligence and self-awareness for readers of all ages.
