THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE

Harry loves his life - he likes to ride his bicycle,
and fly with the birds, and splash the fishes.
But one day he finds out that he will someday die.

Every day he worries, 'Will this be the day I die?'
Suddenly his life is no longer fun.

Only when Harry decides to live each day as if it's his last can he rediscover the joy in life.

The authors were inspired to write this story when they had to find a
way to explain death to their young children. They decided to create
a story that would be uplifting and positive, seen from the perspective
of a child, whose sweetness and innocence is insightful in the lesson
it can teach both adults and children.
