"A delightful amuse-bouche of a book."-- "Publishers Weekly,
Starred Review"
"Mies van Hout's Happy is a tour de force of underwater awesomeness
and emotion, showcasing what an artist can do with a few pastels,
black paper and something fundamental to express. I want to hug it
and buy a copy for every shorty on my list...On the last page, a
gloriously plump whalelike creature surges upward, ending the book
with a surprising sense of closure: "delighted." No reader could
feel otherwise."-- "New York Times Book Review"
