Review: 

You Are My Happy follows a baby and momma turtle exploring the world around them, in all the wonder that littles have. I read this as an ebook which made it a little confusing since the description didn't really note that it would be a cut-out book, so on some pages it seemed like somethign was missing in the e-book version. All that said, this was a very cute book. 

The little turle is so excited to see that world and momma turtle is there to support his exploration and tell them that they are loved. The images were bright and engaging. The story is a good one to read aloud together and show your love. This would make a wonderful gift book, or nighttime tradition.
