What does happiness look like? Does it mean the same for everyone? How much is it worth? What makes us happy and what makes others happy?

This book can serve as a starting point for philosophizing with children and adults about these and many other questions. Perhaps the resulting thoughts will help you pay more attention to small moments of happiness and thus lead a happier life.

Mr. Pigeon arrives in an old, creaking van and sells happiness in small and large portions. Even if there are doubts whether happiness can really be bought in jars - everyone buys as much as they can or want to afford. However, there are exceptions. Mr. Szpak is an artist and would rather not be lucky. And Mr. Mouse is lucky because a jar falls out of the van. He immediately opens it, but what's in it?

A captivating, beautiful and thought-provoking story.
