Meet The Kids' Happiness Action Series
It is a carefully-designed set of 25 inspiring picture book stories comprising five major themes, focusing on sustainable behavior, ethics, success, self-management, and health.
It provides the opportunity for young citizens of the world to develop a positive moral identity and self-esteem, increase their knowledge – relevant to their age - on these “soft” aspects of personal development, as well as recognize, develop and mobilize their essential social skills.
Kids' Happiness Action Initiative
The Series also serves as a foundation for the Kids' Happiness Action Initiative - a social enterprise project aimed to contribute to the promotion of Sustainable Development Goals and “green” component in early childhood education globally.
