More About the Author
P.K. Hallinan began writing children's books 35 years ago when his wife asked him to make a book for their two young sons as a Christmas gift. He did, and the feedback he got from friends and neighbors inspired him to write more books. Since then, P.K. has written and illustrated 89 children's books and has sold more than 8,000,000 copies worldwide.
P.K. was born in Los Angeles in 1944 and spent his youth primarily in Bethesda, Maryland and in the San Fernando Valley. Although P.K. never studied art, his disappointment with the work of the artist assigned to illustrate his first book, motivated him to learn to draw. He has been illustrating his own books ever since.
"If I did any one thing right," says P.K., "I decided very early on to write books that help children and parents alike have better and happier lives. That decision has kept many of my books in-print for more than 25 years, because the values I teach are timeless."
P.K. is also an ordained minister and pastors his own small church, Joy Chapel, in Ashland, Oregon. He lives with his wife, Jeanne, in the mountains above Ashland and also at the beach, in Brookings, Oregon.

very uplifting with great message,

This review is from: Let's Be Happy (Board book)
I love books so I've bought and looked at tons of childrens books for my toddler and this book is one of my very favorite and also my child's. It's got a great message to stay positive, and that happiness begins in the mind, and to help others...etc...It's catchy and melodic. and has only a few rhyming lines per page so my toddler doesn't get bored. I feel that the positive message is not only good to recite to my child over and over again but it also then becomes a "positive affirmation" for me. It's short and fun to read so oftentimes if something comes up during the day that needs a burst of optimism, I start to replay the story outloud. I originally bought it to bring this message of happiness into my child's life but fully expected him to shun it and choose more colorful and popular character books, but instead he brings me this book on his own free will, begging to have it read to him. love it!

I purchased this book for my preschool classroom. I purchased it for a theme to teach on emotions. It is an excellent book on that subject and has very colorful pages and also touches on being helpful and unselfishness.
