Tina's grandpa is the happiest person she knows. So why does he look troubled when she asks him his secret?
The answer takes him all the way back - through a lifetime of chasing a better job, a better body, a better car, a bigger house, more money, more power, always certain the next thing would finally be enough. It wasn't. Not once. Not until everything he'd built quietly came apart, and in the stillness that followed, he discovered something far simpler than anything he'd spent his life chasing.
It's written for two readers at once: the child who's already learning to want things, and the adult beside them who never quite stopped.
Inside this book:
- A warmly illustrated story, told across a grandfather and granddaughter's evening on the porch swing
- A Try It Yourself page for young readers to practice noticing what's already good
- A note for grown-ups grounded in real neuroscience and psychology research - not wishful thinking
- A story built to be read again and again, at any age
Perfect as a gift for new parents, grandparents, graduates, or anyone quietly still playing the game called someday.
You don't have to wait to be happy. This book shows you why - one bedtime story at a time.
