Children need to understand their own value and respect the differences in others. The children's picture book, Happy Within/ Heureuse Comme Je Suis by Marisa J Taylor: English-French Bilingual edition with colorful illustrations by Vanessa Balleza, presents a mantra for children to learn how to love who they are, those that are different from them, and embrace the things that bring them joy and happiness. This book is an excellent tool for children to become bilingual and to learn the beauty of more than one language, which is important in the world today. When children are young they are like sponges and can pick up anything and with this book, your child will have the ability to learn a new language and communicate with others.

I enjoyed reading Happy Within/ Heureuse Comme Je Suis by Marisa J Taylor because it represents diversity, acceptance, and love which is truly reflected in the illustrations by Vanessa Balleza. The world is getting smaller with people traveling more. The impact of social media is bringing us closer so children must gain a better understanding of people from various religions, cultures, and ethnicities while appreciating those differences. With the ability to love themselves, people will have the ability to love others. Begin your child on the pathway to growth, compassion, and embracing differences by adding this book to their library. Highly recommended. Get your copy today.
