"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."

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.
