Happy Happy Everything Books by Kristen Griffin

Kristen is the author of Happy Clouds Coloring Book and Happy
Clouds, which teaches children 12 affirmations like “I am loved,”
using bright imagery and a heart symbol. She also wrote Happy
Words: 72 Words for Kids to Read, designed to help beginning
readers recognize objects in a cheerful way.Along with her books,
Kristen designs patent-pending plushies, custom pencils and pens,
and has released two children’s music albums. Her YouTube channel,
Happy Happy Everything, shares fun and educational music and videos
for children.We discussed her childhood dream of becoming a Disney
animator, her passion for Disney, and how she created a vision
board to guide her path toward building products that inspire
happiness in children. Kristen shared how she launched Happy Happy
Everything, Inc. with the desire to bring joy and inspiration not
just to kids, but also to adults who may have lost their sense of
creativity.

Betsy and Kristen talked about how children are naturally creative,
but often face discouragement in structured settings like school.
Kristen emphasized how important it is for children to feel loved
and supported—because when kids feel good about themselves, they’re
more likely to want to learn.Kristen also spoke openly about the
fear many people have around chasing their dreams. She believes
that not trying at all is the real failure, and that making
mistakes is simply part of the learning process.

Kristen shared her recent experience doing her first book signing,
meet-and-greet, and reading at a local Barnes & Noble—something
that brought her work to life in her own community.Kristen has a
deep commitment to giving back and has partnered with several
nonprofit organizations to donate her books and materials,
including:

Books for Collier Kids, which purchased books for every Pre-K
and Kindergarten student in her county

Room to Read, who partnered with Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi in
Pakistan to distribute her materials

Salty Life Foundation, which sent her books to an orphanage
in Kenya

Women’s Shelter in Naples, Florida

Make-A-Wish Southwest Florida

Golisano Children’s Hospital

Betsy also shared how much she enjoyed the music from her
YouTube channel. Personally, she would have loved to use it in the
preschool where she once worked as a Teacher’s Aide—it’s that
uplifting and fun.If you’re looking to inspire the children in your
life, Betsy highly recommends exploring the Happy Happy Everything
books and resources Kristen offers. Kristen's passion is
contagious, and her work is truly making a difference
