By Sandy Gingras

In Reasons to Be Happy, Sandy Gingras shares a heartfelt and eclectic list of things that should make everyone smile, all illustrated with her unique watercolor painting.

The perfect gift for any occasion, Reasons to Be Happy will put a smile on your face and a skip in your step!

A few reasons to be happy:

* That clean-as-a-whistle feeling of the world when the sun pops out after a rainstorm

* Summer nights . . . catching fireflies on the lawn

* Hearing an old song on the radio

* When he calls you just to hear the sound of your voice

* Politeness

* Mini hot dogs at a fancy party
