Happy New Year everyone !
And it can get off to a good start thanks to the most optimistic children’s book of the moment! His name is 77 Hellos, 77 Happiness, Intimate Notebook of Happiness, and it was published by Saltimbanque editions.
77 is the number that Susie Morgenstern, our Lady of Children’s Literature, chose on the occasion of her birthday to write this book which she considers a kind of inheritance for her grandchildren, and well safe also for all its young readers!
77 happinesses, including 55 experienced in France. Her eternal charming accent always remembers it: Susie Morgenstern is from the United States. Country in which she recalls him, the words bonjour et Goodbye can also be replaced by “have fun”.
“Yes, I am a great optimist. Let’s hope it will be a good year for everyone, for Ukrainians, for Iranians. The illustrator of this book is Iranian, Atieh Sohrabi, very militant in the fight of Iranian women for live in freedom. I’m very proud to be associated with the illustrations. It’s just beautiful, I think.”

Magnificent and very original, because 77 Hellos, 77 Happinesses is also a large-format diary to fill in yourself. It must be said that for Susie Morgenstern, writing and reading are necessarily linked:
“Oh yes! I love getting people to write, and I have such a pleasure writing that I want to share that with everyone. So it’s not just a wellness book, but it’s a book to do. I put everyone in the position of writers, everyone who crosses my path. Even when we come to dinner at my house, I put a notebook on each plate, and people have to write something down before eating Everyone knows how to write after all! We learned to write, we write!”
