The Happiest Therapist presents Positives

Positives is a heartwarming children's book that teaches kids the proven "Three Good Things" exercise from positive psychology. Through a fun and relatable story, children learn how noticing good things in their lives can lift their mood, build resilience, and strengthen friendships.

Follow Dan, Zeke, and Annie-three kids who each struggle with their own challenges-as they discover the power of sharing "positives" together. With the help of Annie's imaginary emotional support cat, Mr. Face, they learn that even small moments of gratitude can make a big difference.

This engaging story is based on the science of Dr. Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology, and is designed to help children:

• Feel happier and more hopeful
• Build emotional resilience
• Strengthen social connections
• Practice gratitude in a fun, simple way

Positives is perfect for bedtime reading, classroom activities, or starting a new family tradition.

Give your child the tools to feel happier-one positive at a time.
