little Mr. Happy and the Talking Mirror

An institution of schoolchildren without parental guidance, civics education or the learned ability to self-reflect are simply classrooms for repeat offenders.

-Dwayne Arthur Jones

Teaching kids how to love themselves should be a sine qua non in every K-12 classroom in America. The most intimate familial parts of the book are the page breaks, providing child and adult time to reflect between chapters.

little Mr. Happy and the Talking Mirror is about a kid who does not see his own reflection, in world history, corporate America and on the silver screen, and it takes the love of a mirror (who sees himself in Happy) to show him the most important part of his reflection is seeing himself first and not through the eyes of others, as others don't reflect the love you should feel for yourself nor do people imagine how exceptional you are to them.
