Oliver Feels Happy: Teaching Kids Joy & Gratitude

Happiness isn’t something that just happens to a child — it’s something they can learn to notice, grow, and share.

Oliver Feels Happy is Book 2 in the Oliver’s Feelings Series, a bright, interactive story that helps children ages 3-7 recognize what happiness feels like in their body, and discover simple daily habits that help joy grow — even on days when it hides.

Through cheerful illustrations and gentle rhyming text, kids follow Oliver from a sunny morning wake-up to filling his “Happy Moments Jar,” sharing cookies with friends, and saying kind words to himself in the mirror. Along the way, children are invited to pause and reflect: How does happy feel in YOUR body? What would YOU put in your jar?
