“Mies van Hout's Happy is a tour de force of
underwater awesomeness and emotion, showcasing what an artist can
do with a few pastels, black paper and something fundamental to
express.”—New York Times Book Review Who could have guessed
that dazzlingly colored fish swimming in an ink-black sea would
help hundreds of thousands of people around the world learn to
recognize and name their emotions? In 2012, Mies van Hout’s Happy
swept the scene as both a stunning art piece and a social-emotional
learning book like no other. On each of its spreads swims a single
fish, each scale and fin suffused with an emotion that the facing
page names in similarly expressive letters: curious, shocked,
loving, content… Now, in this stunning edition of Happy, van
Hout’s luminous fish swim across extra-heavy pages that will
endure through countless readings. A gorgeous dust jacket reverses
to a playful poster for home, classroom, or office. Readers
of all ages can benefit from expanding their emotional vocabulary.
Use Happy during a story time full of energetic face-making, or
emote with your whole bodies for a drama exercise. Share it
one-on-one to help someone name what they’re feeling, or inspire
budding artists to see what they can do with chalk pastels and
black paper. Or simply page through the art and lose yourself in
Mies van Hout’s ocean of extraordinary fish. Whatever makes
you…happy. “It's a delightful amuse-bouche of a book, and an
aquatic introduction to everyday emotions. Ages 2–
up!”—Publishers Weekly ★ Starred Review
