Happiness Around the World

The follow-up to Lonely Planet Kids' Love Around the World, this beautifully illustrated picture book looks at concepts of happiness and calm from across our planet. From sobremesa (unwinding at the table after a big meal) in Spain and dolce far niente (the sweetness of doing nothing) in Italy, to Danish hygge, Indian laughter therapy and sharing a feast with family in the USA, every culture has its own unique take on how to achieve contentedness. Featuring Wazza Pink's stunning artwork, this book is the ultimate guide to the world of wellbeing.Contents includes:Sharing a Meal With Family - USA, NORTH AMERICARemembering loved ones on the Day of the Dead - MEXICOGetting ready for Carnival - BRAZILBeing cosy (hygge) - DENMARKGoing for an evening stroll (La passeggiata) - ITALYHaving a sauna - FINLANDDjembe drumming - SENEGALGoing forest bathing - JAPANSinging along with the hits at a noraebang ('song room') - SOUTH KOREATidying up for New Year - CHINAPerforming Yogic laughter therapy - INDIASharing fish with the community (Inati) - TOKELAUTelling Dreamtime stories - AUSTRALIAAbout Lonely Planet Kids: Lonely Planet Kids - an imprint of the world's leading travel authority Lonely Planet - published its first book in 2011.
