How to Be Happy with Who You Are is a heart-warming picture chapter book by Sudha Murty, illustrated by Shruti Hemani, that gently teaches children about self-acceptance, identity, and true happiness.

Follow the young Princess of the Sea as she tries to be like her friends — strong as a mountain, sweet as a river, or full of life like a tree — only to discover through nature, seasons, and change that happiness comes from embracing who you truly are. With rich illustrations and a simple yet thoughtful narrative, this charming story helps young readers understand that comparison doesn’t create joy — self-acceptance does.
