"In Search of Happiness" is beautifully illustrated by the prize-winning illustrator of "Puff, the Magic Dragon." "In Search of Happiness" will appeal to children age 6 and up.
--Midwest Book Review

Ages 4-7. Large-format pages allow Puybaret (Puff, the Magic Dragon) plenty of scope, and his evocations of each new country have a Cirque du Soleil feel […] Saumande, in this sensitive debut, shows that it is in the search, and not the destination, that happiness lies.”
