"THE HAPPIEST MOMMY EVER," by Alice Furniss, illustrated by Julie Olson, Deseret Book, 32 pages, $17.95

Where does happiness reside? Author Alice Furniss and illustrator Julie Olson answer this question in their delightful new children's book, "The Happiest Mommy Ever."

This is a beautiful book — bright, cheerful and clever. It is hard not to grin when looking at Olson's illustrations. Sure, there are a lot of happy faces, but the drawings show a range of emotions behind the smiles that are subtle and beautiful.

The book falls into the category of heart-warming surprise ending. A little boy tells the story. "Mommy, what is the happiest you've ever been?" he asks.
