by Gulshan Advani’s Finding Happy is a simple reminder in life not to chase happiness or explicitly look out for happiness. But it is instead bestowed by Mother Nature in abundance and we have to just look for it
Gulshan brings it out effectively through a simple story amply supported by beautiful illustrations by Suvidha Mistry. Happiness is in small things and this is exactly what Gusty finds out in his quest for finding out how to be happy on all days and not just weekends. Luckily for him he lives in a far away island that looks fabulous in pictures.
Gusty looks out for being happy and has to traverse through jungles and a few obstacles until he finds someone reliable to talk about being happy.
The book is a good read for young readers and brings out the element of being happy with nature, listening to birds chirping, seeing a beautiful sunrise or sunset or enjoying the monsoons.
