Happy and Sad

About the Book

Happy and Sad is a journey through one little elephant boy’s emotions. It addresses the first feelings of sadness and happiness we feel in our youth. Based upon some real-life experiences of my son and I when I was raising him as a single parent, Happy and Sad represents the relationship of any parent, guardian, and child and their ability to handle life’s ups and downs together.
