Happiness Street will strike a chord with anyone who has ever spent an unforgettable summer holiday by the seaside. This book demonstrates creativity at its best and promotes the use of art as one of the earliest forms of self-expression.
A young girl reflects on her fond memories of a summer spent by the seaside with grandma. She takes her art supplies and starts painting, one painting at a time for each memory, as a means of processing her thoughts and feelings in an empowering and creative way. Young readers will delight at the charming watercolor paintings and will take a trip down memory lane where thoughts and emotions are expressed in color. The story ends on a positive note, with the promise of coming back to grandma's.
After reading this book, children will:
✓Be prompted to write their own summer story
✓Be encouraged to express themselves through art
✓Want to paint and get creative
Albert Einstein has been quoted to have said that creativity is intelligence having fun, and that imagination is more important than knowledge. Creativity is the highest form of intelligence because it goes beyond knowledge recall and extends into knowledge creation.

Creative children are also better equipped to overcome obstacles and navigate changes in life.
