Reach for this book when you notice your child masking their feelings to please others, or if they seem stressed by the expectation to always look happy for photos and social events. It addresses the subtle pressure children feel to perform perfection for the sake of a camera or a parent's approval, offering a gentle path toward emotional honesty. The story follows Tylor as he navigates the difference between a forced smile and a genuine expression of joy. Ideal for children ages 3 to 8, this book normalizes the idea that we do not always have to be 'on' or perform happiness. It encourages kids to honor their internal state rather than just their external appearance. Parents will find it a helpful tool for discussing authenticity and the value of true feelings over artificial poses, making it a perfect choice for building self-confidence and integrity in early childhood.
