Hugo the Happy Starfish, the Secret to Happiness review!

Hugo is a little starfish. He finds his life dull. Tired of feeling sad, one day he sets off to find happiness. After much searching, he discovers something that makes his heart do a somersault! Sharing with others is the only thing that makes him truly happy; all other things just made him feel better for a little while.

Adults strive to teach children to share within their communities. Encouraging children to give teaches them empathy, as well as a sense of social responsibility. Children can feel empowered by giving and sharing with others.

An award winning children’s book:

Biography

A native of Germany and former resident of the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the Islands of the Bahamas and Switzerland, Suzy Liebermann--now living in the USA--has travelled the world in pursuit of language, art, and culture.


Having found it, she now shares it with the world's teachers, parents, and children through educational literature. Leveraging her decades of global experience teaching in German, Spanish, French, and English with a degree in foreign language translation and a master's degree in business management and international business, she launched Happy Language Kids Publications in 2010 as an interactive language learning program for children and their young-at-heart elders. 

This program is particularly aligned with the aims and values she upheld as a teacher of cultural art and foreign language at a prestigious International Baccalaureate World School.

I have always had a love for teaching and helping others. Being able to share the wisdom of the right attitude through my stories gave my life a new goal to make a difference in the world.

Today I live my dream of helping others to find the right attitude for life - because life gets so much easier with the right attitude. We might not be able to control life's circumstances or other people's actions however we can control our attitude towards them.

With lots of LOVE and HAPPINESS,

Suzy Liebermann

My Review:

My niece loves to read. She loved this book because it was fun and she loves to read about sea creatures. She also loved that there were Spanish words in it that she has heard on Dora before. I really liked the book too, and it was sweet and short. It reminded me of the Grinch's heart growing in size. Money, toys and everything else that money could buy does not make Hugo happy. Only when he helps others is he truly happy! I also liked that this was a big book that is easy to hold. On the last page there is a spot to draw a picture of yourself helping someone else, making him or her happy. I really liked that it covers reading and drawing. Hugo the Happy Starfish, The Secret to Happiness is a great book! I am giving this book a 5/5!
