Overview

When her mama asks her to find happiness, Ilana never expected to set off on a journey of a lifetime. While searching for happiness in Times Square, on Broadway and Fifth Avenue wearing her footie pajamas, Ilana makes some very valuable discoveries. She learns that money can't buy happiness; Owning a gazillion things won't bring it; That fame is nice, but it may not result in happiness. And, believe it or not, even Santa can't deliver it. But Santa was able to show her the way... So when she finally recognizes that happiness has been inside her all the time, she learns what to do to let it out. Young readers will enjoy her funny escapades and will benefit from the lesson that changed Ilana's life. Ilana's Manhattan adventures take her from Times Square to the NY Public Library, up Fifth Avenue--all the time searching for happiness. The hardened characters she meets can't help her much, because they can't help themselves. The tale told in rhyme ends happily for Ilana and her mother.
