Bee-ing Happy with Unicorn Jazz and friends is part of the children's unicorn book, Unicorn Jazz series, by author Lisa Caprelli and illustrator Davey Villalobos.

In the first children's unicorn book series, Unicorn Jazz started off feeling a bit shy and unwelcomed after she moved to a new place far away from her first home. The idea of being unique is a lesson learned for Jazz with the help of her new flying friend, Woof the Crow, who showed her how to celebrate being different from everyone else and why she should not hide or change who she is. By the end book one, with her head proudly held high, Jazz made more friends to play with, not by trying to fit in with everyone else, but just by being her beautiful self.

The main teachings from the first book on feeling openly content with your own uniqueness, belonging and believing in others is brought to life in color in this second part of the Unicorn Jazz series. Bee-ing Happy with Unicorn Jazz and Friends demonstrates how kids can positively involve themselves socially through illustrating that the little things in our individual day-to-day lives do matter and that each new day is another chance to make yourself happy by helping another. Whether it is giving someone a self-made gift, spending time with them by participating in something new, or even bringing them in on your favorite hobbies, this book shows how each and every considerate social gesture adds a spark of value and light to the person on the receiving end.

The core concept of this book focuses on portraying that although each person is unique and enjoys things in their own way, we also share the same essential values of what happiness means to us - and that emotion is radiantly captured in the illustrations of all the characters within each page. Along with a heartfelt lesson on self-expression and the importance of bonding and togetherness, Bee-ing Happy with Unicorn Jazz and Friends also includes several educational fun facts, coloring pages, a new character to the Unicorn Jazz series -Bee Happy.

The 10 Questions were a great bonus for me and my child. We also loved "finding" Bee Happy on every page as a game. Bravo for another well thought out and entertaining book about happiness!

You find out why Unicorn Jazz is unique in that she has a musical note for a tail in the first book and she can sing.
