Onde Começa a Felicidade

by Eva Eland

Todos precisamos de felicidade nas nossas vidas.
Pode ser difícil dar com ela e às vezes parece estar longe.
Mas há um lugar onde a felicidade pode sempre ser encontrada: é o lugar ao qual precisamos de voltar.

بخاطر نقاشی های ساده و صمیمی ش 🙂

تردید نکن که نوری هست
شاید چندان نباشد که گفته‌اند
اما آنقدر هست
که از پس تاریکی‌ات برآید.

شاید زیادی کتاب کودک های عجیب غریب و جذاب خوندم که این خیلی معمولی به نظرم اومد.
ولی حتا برا انتقال پیامش هم معمولی بود.

The fact that happiness looks like a stomach is my truth

نه بابا چیزی نداشت که بغض کنم. خاک رفته تو گلوم.

[Chadi Raheb · Rating 3 out of 5]

Everyone's looking for something they don't have.
Me?
I don't need happiness.
I'm just looking for chocolate in this life.
Chocolate & hugs.

These titles (and When Sadness Is at Your Door) are wonderful introductions to emotions and the complexity that goes with them. The child is navigating and handling their own emotions of sadness and happiness. The emotions are portrayed as imaginary friends, so the child character interacts with them. I really enjoy the color palette in these books, the repeating colors make sadness/happiness a part of everything, even in something beautiful like the flowers outside. These are excellent books to help kids understand their feelings, especially a sensitive emotion like sadness, that can come and go in different lengths of time.
These books are whimsical and thoughtful. I am so impressed by how the illustrations and color palette are simple, but so intentionally placed; it helps make these books so impactful and connects the reader to the message of the book. These books will truly resonate with any age reader.

Books that explain emotions to children are difficult to come by. This one is really quite well done. The illustrations are sparse and show emotions really well.

[Sara Logghe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastisch mooi kinderboek met een lief verhaal over de zoektocht naar geluk. Vooral de potloodillustraties zijn fantastisch mooi en de boodschap o zo warm.

واقعا از انتخاب هوشمندانه رنگها لذت بردم، خیلی هماهنگ شده با مفهوم اصلی داستان. همون حس لطیفی که تو متن داستان هست، تو تصاویر هم حس میشه، دوسش داشتم 💌

ΜΕΣΟ ΤΕΧΝΗΣ!!! Λίτσα Κοντογιάννη
Τι είναι η ευτυχία; Είναι ένα πράγμα που το έχουμε μέσα στο σπίτι μας ή μήπως ένα άτακτο πλασματάκι που έρχεται και φεύγει και πρέπει να το ψάχνουμε;
Αυτές είναι οι πιο συχνές ερωτήσεις που κάνουν τα παιδιά προσχολικής και πρώτης σχολικής ηλικίας, όταν ακούν αυτή τη λέξη όταν τη χρησιμοποιούμε εμείς οι μεγάλοι.
Η Εύα Έλαντ πολύ απλά και κατανοητά, αλλά και μέσα από τα πολύ παραστατικά και ευχάριστά σκίτσα της, δίνει τις απαντήσεις που χρειάζονται, απαντήσεις που πιθανόν να έχουμε ανάγκη κι εμείς.
Ένα ιδανικό βιβλίο που βοηθάει τα παιδιά αυτής της ηλικίας να διαχειριστούν καλύτερα τον συναισθηματικό τους κόσμο. Πολύτιμος βοηθός, τόσο για νηπιαγωγούς, όσο και για γονείς.

ما أفسدته أمس يصلحه كتاب السعادة
تحفة جدا فى الألوان والرسم والجمل البسيطة وحتى نمط الكتابة بسيط وجميل كتاب اتمنى أنه يكون معايا

Are you looking for happiness 😌😌?

It goes by different names.it seems to be hiding while others it's right there, you can try to understand it , collect itor protect it, you can try to catch it. But most of the time happiness appears to have a will of its own

You can't feel happy all the time

In the end happiness begins with you

Aynı yazarın Üzüntü Kapını Çaldığında kitabı oldukça hoşuma gitmişti.

Tarz olarak bu kitapla çok benziyor. Ancak "mutluluğun başladığı yer" fazlaca klişe ve "naif".

[Alex Cassiopeia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Es un libro muy lindo.
Estaba muy entusiasmada de tenerlo, ya que su predecesor [de la Tristeza] es un libro que recomiendo a donde quiera que voy; tal vez por ello quedó una línea más baja de algo tan bello y profundo. Aún así es algo para compartir a gente de todas las edades.

Sin duda seguiré buscando a la autora ✨

Deutsch: "Anleitung zum Glücklich-sein"

Ja, gut - wichtiger Thema. Höffnung in der Dunkelheit, und mit geduld weisst man dass Glücklichkeit steht drinn und ist immer da.

Süss, kurz, schnell. Ein talentierter Künstler, so um ein nebulöses Gefühl visuell darzustellen.

"In that quiet moment you will realize you don't have to keep looking for Happiness. It was always there. Recognize it and treasure it because, in the end, Happiness begins with you"

Love the illustration (it's very cute) and the message as well <3

هميشه نمى‌توانى شاد باشى.
شايد احساس‌هاى زيادى درون‌ات را پركند و تورا به اينسو و آنسو بكشاند، اما تو مى‌توانى راهى براى بازگشت به خانه پيدا كنى.
فقط نفس بكش...
درآن لحظه‌ى آرام، درمی‌یابى که نبايد پيوسته دنبال شادى بگردى.

Weer vrolijk nadat 'verdriet op bezoek kwam'. Meer van Eva Eland!

está lindo, muy lindo, pero le sobra texto, le sobran mensajes

[Margaret · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Podes tentar entendê-la, colecioná-la ou protegê-la. Podes tentar agarrá-la... Mas na maior parte do tempo, a Felicidade parece ter vontade própria."

Outro livro lindíssimo de Eva Eland! Uma dose rápida de bem-estar, sempre que a vida não parece correr bem.

[Riri · Rating 3 out of 5]

این کتاب رو مامان برام خوند و بعدش هم خودش خوابش برد😅 که هم یک یادآوری از دوران کودکی بود هم یکسری تناقض ها بهمراه داشت.





Because in the end happiness begins with mum.

Waar Geluk Begint is een interessant boek voor jonge kinderen en het introduceert het thema van "geluk".
Verschillende fases van geluk komen erin voor en uiteindelijk is de boodschap dat geluk alleen bij jezelf begint.
Maar, door de kinderachtige illustraties en het tekort aan actie kan ik niet zeggen dat ik hier van heb genoten.
3/5

[Pam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Happiness is a huge emotion when you're small and not so small. Eland takes younger readers through a journey to see and experience all that happiness can be. She also includes the important message that we can't be happy all the time. Valuable exploration for younger readers to affirm their emotions. Simple illustrations keep readers focused on the message.

[HAYLEY STANSBURY · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book and the potential to use it to explain emotions. This could help children understand that happiness will mean various things to different people but also could be brought in to help those with SEN to better understand their own emotions and feelings and that of others.

I especially liked that it draws attention to the fact that it is okay not to feel happy all the time, a concept that children may struggle with. This book could easily be used in PSHE and English lessons.

The illustrations are particularly fascinating to me, the idea that happiness is what you perceive it to be/look like could prove a great discussion point for children.

[Celina Buckley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved this book. Stunning gentle, hopeful illuatrations. I think every classroom should have a copy of this book. The children in my class often read it again and again throughout the year. They love it. I teach 7-8 year olds.

[Molly Cluff (Library!) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love all these books about learning to recognize our feelings--the Sadness book by the same author was lovely, and this one was great too (all about pursuing happiness and what things we find happiness in). I love the bright coral color the illustrations use to personify happiness. Very cute!

[Lauren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my goodness, so cute. I didn’t think this could top Sadness, but I think it did. Beautiful, bright illustrations really combines well with the poetic and relatable text. Such a sweet story for kids with anxiety or trouble identifying feelings.

[Jason · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like how realistic this book is about happiness. We don't have to be happy all the time. We can be all right most of the time and then know how to maximize those bursts of happiness when they show up :).

[Chloe · Rating 5 out of 5]

By the same author of 'When Sadness Comes'. Lovely illustrations and cute messages about the journey to happiness. Can be used to help young children understand big emotions.
