Nita's Happy Day
A happy day is the best day – like sunshine with no clouds to be seen, right? Well, not always. Nita realises her happy day is a not-so-happy one for her brother. This delightful take on happiness encourages readers to think of others, especially when feeling happy! How can we help those in our community to feel happiness too?
