What is happiness?

Happiness is like having your favorite toy when you really need it most.

Imagine you're playing a game, and you're getting tired or upset. Then, all of a sudden, you see something that makes you laugh or feel better, maybe your friend gives you a hug, or you find a snack you love. That feeling inside you is happiness.

What Makes You Happy

Sometimes, happiness comes from things you do every day. Like when you get to eat ice cream after school, or when you finish drawing a picture and show it to someone. These are small moments that make your heart feel warm and light.

Happiness Can Change

You can be happy one minute and sad the next, just like how the sky changes from sunny to cloudy. But even on days when you're not feeling happy, there’s always something around you that could turn your smile back on.
