Unhappiness Is ... A Book that Takes a Fun Look at Everyday Situations 
With a little touch of Serious Stuff                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      For Young & Older readers & ALL ARTISTS!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 UI is an Activity Book that will entertain persons of all ages! I created it when I was fourteen years old. I have always tried to find the silly in a situation and this book does just that. It's mostly about the funny side of everyday life.
Children love it!                                                                    
It has gone through a few changes over the (MANY) years, yet it remains timeless! This version is for you, my readers, to illustrate 'cause I couldn't get mine to be what I wanted! And, I think it'll be great for you to be able to interpret the events your way and put your take on the pages! The sayings will make you chuckle, laugh and reflect. Most of the time, you will be able to think "Yep. That happened to me." 
Illustrating your thoughts may be a surprise to someone else, as well as yourself!                                                                                                                                                                                               The Serious SideIf you work with youth and want to understand what is going on in their heads with Art Therapy, this book will be of great help! I have them illustrate my sample copy at events and the things they come up with are "telling". I suggest Unhappiness Is ... to all professionals.                                            
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Attention please! I have no control over what books are shown under the pages featuring my books for youth. "Urban" literature has come to mean adult reading that leans toward writing I feel is not the type I would suggest toward a young audience. A lot of it seems to have no real value other than getting some youth more interested in reading.~Karen E. Dabney
