The Laughing Book
Illustrated by Daniel Wiseman
Published by Happy Yak
Everybody laughs. Some people laugh all of the time. Others laugh some of the time. And some people say they never laugh (though I bet they do when nobody is looking). When do you laugh?
The Laughing Book is a joyful story celebrating how wonderful it feels to laugh! Some people cackle or chortle, hoot, howl, or roar… or giggle and guffaw! This book highlights how laughter is the best medicine and can bring us all together, and cheer us up when we’re feeling sad. Brought to life with energetic, vibrant, and bold illustrations from New York Times bestselling illustrator Daniel Wiseman.
Laughter is contagious, and this positive, stupendously silly picture book is perfect for spreading happiness... once you start laughing you won’t be able to stop. What makes you laugh?

Illustrator
Daniel Wiseman makes books for kids. He lives in Knoxville, Tennessee with his brilliant wife, two rambunctious sons, one teeny tiny daughter, and a shaggy dog. They spend the day playing, learning, drawing, building, laughing, and crying (the kids more-so than he and his wife). If he’s not perched in his studio drawing, you can find him hiking, hanging at the lake, cooking for my family, or trying to nap.
