Nita's Happy Day

From the Series Feelings Forecast

  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 2
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

A happy day is the best day—like sunshine with no clouds to be seen, right?

Well, not always. Nita wakes to a happy day for her but 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? Emotions come and go, like the weather, so let’s spread happiness to others whenever we can. Friendly text and charming illustrated characters present this core social and emotional learning concept with humor and a focus on community.
