Grammy Award winner Pharrell Williams's super-hit song “Happy” is now a board book
Nominated for an Academy Award in 2014, “Happy” hit number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 list, and has topped the charts in more than seventy-five countries worldwide.

All the exuberance of the song pulses from these vibrant photographs of excited, happy kids. This is a board book full of memorable, precious childhood moments that will move readers in the same way they were moved by the song.

Redefining cool for a new generation, Pharrell Williams is a creative force, using music, fashion, and design to express his distinctive style. As a singer, songwriter, and producer, Pharrell has earned ten Grammy Awards for his work. His multimedia creative collective i am Other includes music, fashion, film, television, and art endeavors. The collective was built on the philosophy that individuality is the new wealth, and this sentiment flows through each project. Happy! is his first children's book.
PreS-Gr 2—Williams's hit song from the movie Despicable Me 2 is put to the page in this lively and fun book. From the tactile neon yellow letters of the title page to the author's note at the end encouraging readers to be "Happy Helpers," the book serves up nothing but joy and whimsy. In full-color spreads, each page features photographs of a diverse group of kids sporting all manner of adorable costumes and hipster apparel. They dance, laugh, and pose with cardboard cutouts and chalk drawings, that allow them to appear in space, on the beach, or, in a literal interpretation of the songs lyrics, "a room without a roof." The lyrics work best when read or sung by readers who are familiar with the song; otherwise the rhythm and rhyme do not make much sense. Because of this, the work may not have as much lasting power as a book based on a more traditional song or nursery rhyme, but for the time being, it will be a big hit with those familiar with the chart-topper. VERDICT A music video put to the pages of a children's book, this fun interpretation of a popular song will make kids and adults alike want to "clap along."—Clara Hendricks, Cambridge Public Library, MA
