Editorial Reviews

Just the kind of pictures that have been found by researchers to elicit positive mood and promote the use of useful problem solving techniques. Skimming through pictures of babies has been found to increase smiling [...] and other nurturing behaviors and also make it possible for people to focus on complicated tasks.” —Shira Gabriel, PhD Associate Professor of Psychology at the Universityat Buffalo, SUNY

“I dare you to look through this book without smiling—it just isn’t possible. While folding my fifth load of size 4T socks today, I’m going to sit with this book for a few minutes and reflect on the sheer joy I find there.” —Amy Smith, writer at www.madandbean.com
