LOUISVILLE, KY, November 15, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — After dedicating more than three decades to public and private education, Jo Gill has released a delightful new children’s book titled I Am Happy. The book is designed to help children find joy in the everyday rhythms of life.

I Am Happy takes readers on a journey through the four seasons. Each page highlights ordinary yet beautiful experiences such as splashing in puddles, jumping into leaf piles, flying a kite, or stargazing. The book uses repetition and gentle affirmations to show that happiness is not something we wait for. It is something we can find in every moment.

Jo Gill shares, “Children today face so much distraction and pressure. This book was written to remind them that joy can be found in the smallest things. Whether it is drinking hot chocolate or riding a bike, happiness begins with awareness and gratitude.”

The book is colorfully illustrated by KDP Pro Publisher, making it engaging and easy to read aloud with young children. Educators and parents will find I Am Happy a valuable tool for teaching emotional awareness, mindfulness, and the importance of appreciating life’s simple pleasures.
