Retired Educator's New Book Helps Kids Find Joy in Everyday Life

Former educator Jo Gill releases "I Am Happy," a children's book teaching mindfulness and finding joy in everyday moments. Available on Amazon in paperback and digital formats.

This book addresses the growing need for emotional literacy and mindfulness education for children in an increasingly distracted and high-pressure world. As mental health concerns among youth continue to rise, tools that teach children to find happiness in simple moments become increasingly valuable. For parents and educators, this represents a practical resource for fostering resilience and emotional intelligence—skills that research shows contribute to long-term wellbeing and academic success. In an era where children face unprecedented screen time and performance pressures, learning to appreciate life's small pleasures can be a protective factor against anxiety and depression.
