Isle of You by David Larochelle

4.0

You may want Kleenex handy when you get to the end of this sweet story meant to comfort children when they're feeling blue and remind them that there are people in their lives who love them very much. The book opens with a young girl sitting on her bed in a darkened room and the question "Was today a hard day?" The girl is then invited to shake every last worry off of herself and board a boat that will take her to the Isle of You where happiness awaits. She makes wishes on starfish, dozes in a hammock surrounded by woodland creatures, enjoys her favorite dessert, and so much more. Readers of all ages will relate to this story and appreciate the reminder to take care of themselves and seek out that which makes them happy.
