The Happy Shop
by Brittany Long Olsen
This was such a wholesome middle grade graphic novel! We have a mom who moved her young daughter across the world for a new job and a shop that sells happy memories.
I love what this graphic novel represents and it's short, so it's hard to talk about it without spoilers. This story talks about both pre-teen emotions and adult ones, which I found refreshing. I loved how the author included her mother's feelings with the move and experiences in this.
My favorite part is what the book represents. We're talking about how complex feelings are and that 'negative' emotions don't have to be negative all the time. The message is very reminiscent of inside-out. The illustrations are simple, but pretty.
Reading this as a thirty year old woman still gave me the warm and fuzzies.
