Live events and beautiful children's books about choosing happiness, by Tessa Cobb

The Happy Book Lady is coming to NORTH London Collegiate School!

Tessa is super excited to share The Art Of Happiness with students at NCLS on 21 November 2022 - kicking-off wellbeing week with a bang!

​

Pupils up to and including year 4 will enjoy immersive storytelling with 'Geoffrey FInds a Bike'. This happy giraffe and his biking buddies show us how to choose happiness, even when everything goes wrong.

Years 5 and 6 will discover the secrets to success with 'The Girl Who Walked to the Moon.' Who knew that realising your dreams was about trying, and failing, and trying, and failing again?!
