Perfect for a bedtime story! A little bear named Ananda will take your child on a journey filled with beautiful nature illustrations and new animal friends as she explores all the places where happiness might be!

My name is Ananda Bear and I'm looking for happiness. Do you know where I can find it?

Maybe it's in the honeycomb in the tree near my house. Yum! I love honey! Maybe it's by the pond with my new best friend Willie the goose. Could happiness be at the top of the hill near the beautiful waterfall? I'll search the entire forest until I find happiness. Do you want to look with me?
