You Make Me Happy cover

Sofia likes a boy in her class very much. She feels anxious and happy at the same time. She tells Grandma, because Grandma always knows what to do. "You should tell him you like him," Grandma says. But what should Sofia say? And where? And when? Grandma and Grandpa are happy to share their story with Sofia. And that gives her an idea...A tender story with beautiful illustrations about loving someone and learning to tell them!

"Many young children need help, reassurance and a bit of guidance so they aren't fearful and apprehensive. "You Make Me Happy" is a tender story about how to learn to open up and tell friends the truth. Jenny Bakker's gently flowing illustrations are lovely, too." -- KIDS' HOME LIBRARY (nationally syndicated column by Lee Littlewood) "Bakker creates dreamy, windswept backdrops for this story of a girl who confides in her grandmother about her first crush...Readers with romantic butterflies of their own may be emboldened by the girl's decision to announce her affection to the boy--with a message that reiterates the book's title." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "The message is a universal one with broad appeal...The gorgeous artwork and tender storyline provide a good backdrop...to talk to children about the angst of young love." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
