Life and the dictionary seems to be filled with negative words, so Susie Dent has searched for happy and uplifting words and phrases.

In some cases these words are long forgotten, while others have recently been discovered. She explains their origins, what they mean and how to use them. The descriptions are paired with beautifully flowing illustrations throughout.

There are 100 words in here - including mubble fubbles (a slightly sad mood), gigglemug (someone who never stops smiling), and forblissed (extremely happy).

Suitable for readers aged seven upwards, there's a lot here to enjoy and a powerful message in how we all might use our words to make the world a happier place.
