About the author
Marisa J. Taylor
7 books6 followersMarisa Taylor lives in London, UK with her husband and children. They are a mixed Jamaican, Canadian & German family. London has a diverse range of people, cultures & ethnic backgrounds. However, she still found it difficult to find books that reflect the amazing city and represent children from all over.
She is passionate about learning & teaching languages as it is a key element to connecting with people from other cultures. Her desire is to inspire and motivate parents and children from all nationalities & backgrounds to love who they are and be happy within.
Marisa speaks German, Spanish, Portuguese and English fluently, but only speaks German and Spanish to her children. The lack of bilingual bilingual books available inspired her to create a bilingual series of her book´happy within´, with the aim of helping her children improve their language skills, as well as help other families learn another language together. She also feels strongly about teaching kids all around the world about self-love and diversity early on and that it is why she has published the book in so many languages.

I absolutely LOVE this story. It’s a beautifully written diverse and inclusive book! The very thing we need right now, especially with all that is happening around us. What makes this book even more special, is that it comes in multiple languages as well. The author did an amazing job!

Heartwarming and well illustrated
Sometimes,warm and endearing illustrations tend to uplift the message conveyed in a children's book.This is one such book that helps children understand that no matter where you are from,what your skin colour may be or whether you have varied interests,you must love yourself for what you are and do what gives you happiness the most.Little children from different parts of the world have been shown having the time of their life and laughing with so much joy that it rubs on to you like a comforting cuddle.Lovely work.My favourite line from the book would be "Let's support one another to be the best we can be".
Recommended for age group 6 years and above.
Five out of five stars.

A must on the children’s shelf
I love the positive vibes in this book and the powerful messages it sends to children, which is so important for them to internalise from an early age: love yourself, everyone is unique/different in their own way and that is the beauty of diversity. Always do what makes you happy.
Books as this one are so much needed! It is also beautifully illustrated, and the fact that you can get the bilingual version in so many languages makes it really special :)

This picture book shows happiness and self-acceptance through both English and Spanish. The book tells a story about finding joy from within, focusing on emotional well-being. This book would be a wonderful tool in a future classroom to promote emotional literacy and self-awareness. It can be used for bilingual/ ESL education, helping young learners develop both their English and Spanish language skills while exploring themes of inner happiness and self-esteem. Activities could include discussing emotions and drawing self portraits. This story is good for social emotional.

This is a lovely picture book about being comfortable in one's own skin. I'm much older than the target age, but I'm learning Spanish, so children's picture books -- especially bilingual books -- are a great way for me to parse out grammar and vocabulary outside of my course work. The art and message are beautiful!

Lovely story with a timely message
This is a beautiful story that teaches us about self love and empathy. I love that the narration is simple enough for young kids to understand and grasp the message. The illustrations are super cute!
