        The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Riley

Human beings live for quite a long time and for a lot of that time we are not happy.

We want to be taller, shorter, fatter, thinner, older and younger. We want our straight hair to be curly, our curly hair to be straight and our brown eyes to be blue.

We hate our parents, children, teachers, students and everybody. We want to be somewhere else with someone else, eating something else and wearing something fantastic no one else can afford, and we want to splash them as we drive by in our big red car.

Rats live for quite a short time and for most of that time they are very, very happy...

Ages 9 and older.

Nothing bothers Riley. While human beings around the world stress out and go crazy over their youth, beauty, and  unattainable ideals, Riley is pretty content to be just where he is in his life.  While human beings consume large amounts of unhealthy foods, Riley’s happy with a moderate variety of foods on his plate. While people buy the latest toys, Riley’s is happy to have a sharp stick to scratch himself with.  As you read on you'll meet a small man wearing a a bowler hat. You'll also meet his dog Bert. They are both trying to have everything they can. Riley shows us that when you look at Riley and compare him with us humans, happiness seems to be easier when you have a lot less. 

This book appeals to people (and rats) of all ages by presenting life's lessons with gentle humor and satire.

The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Riley was named the Picture Book of the Year by The Children’s Book Council of Australia. 

Riley shows us that being happy means lowering your expectations, not your dreams.
