HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE: The Island of Optimism (HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH - Island Adventures - Educational Children's Book Collection 3) by [Liebermann, Suzy]

HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE (THE ISLAND OF OPTIMISM contains a great educational lesson about the importance of having your own opinion, staying positive and believing in your dreams.

THE ISLAND OF OPTIMISM Hugo learns in a simple yet fun way the difference between PESSIMISM and OPTIMISM as well as the importance of positive thinking skills.

Hugo the Happy Starfish starts doubting his decisions and looses his positive outlook on life. Asked, if he can see the glass “half full” instead of “half empty” he magically earns his optimism back.
Hugo learns that reality is subjective and that everybody is entitled to believe in his/her own truth.

Hugo is a little starfish whose home is at the bottom of the wide ocean. He longs to visit the real world, and one day he decides to go and find it. Hugo’s journey to happiness isn’t quite as straightforward as he hopes though. He is sent to a series of different islands where he is taught important character lessons.

By the end of his journey, Hugo has visited fourteen islands, made many more friends, and, most importantly, learned how to be a better starfish.

HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH – ISLAND ADVENTURES is packed with life lessons for kids, showing them the importance of appreciation, patience, tolerance and optimism amongst others.

Character Development for Children

Believing that happiness can be learned, feelings can be understood and that building character based on a positive attitude leads to happy, content, self-confident and successful human beings, I have created this exciting series of charming books about HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH.

The series of books on character education aims to help educate children about their feelings, their attitude, their choices and the consequences that follow and includes an introduction to the Spanish language, lessons of character, ecological alertness and life skills—all amid a backdrop of a colourful island and mystical underwater world.

I have always had a love for teaching and helping others. Being able to share the wisdom of the right attitude through my stories gave my life a new goal to make a difference in the world.

Today I live my dream of helping others to find the right attitude for life – because life gets so much easier with the right attitude. We might not be able to control life’s circumstances or other people’s actions however we can control our attitude towards them.

With lots of LOVE and HAPPINESS,

Suzy Liebermann
