Juliette Saumande, Eric Puybaret
In Search of Happiness
In the country of Caution, no inhabitant is unfortunate, because nobody dares to make anything. Manoug is terribly bored. Guided by Cocagne, a lyrebird in thousand colors, he decides to leave in search of the Country of Happiness. But does it really exist? Is there only a single road to find happiness? Manoug will finally understand that the country of happiness is where his beloved ones are. A beautiful initiatory journey!

"In Search of Happiness" is beautifully illustrated by the prize-winning illustrator of "Puff, the Magic Dragon." "In Search of Happiness" will appeal to children age 6 and up.--Midwest Book ReviewAges 4-7. Large-format pages allow Puybaret (Puff, the Magic Dragon) plenty of scope, and his evocations of each new country have a Cirque du Soleil feel [ ] Saumande, in this sensitive debut, shows that it is in the search, and not the destination, that happiness lies.”--Publishers Weekly"The illustrations in this picture book originally published in France are filled with colorful images and imaginative scenes that compelreaders to tum the book's pages for more.
