The 16 Must Haves Every Mom Should Have on Her Shopping List This October

I don't know a kid who doesn't love Pharrell Williams's "Happy." My kids are still bopping along to it more than a year after its release. And his interview with Oprah Winfrey about the song turned me into an eternal fan. On Oct. 6, the Grammy Award winner will release a book by the same name ($20), and it's one that you'll want to get your hands on. It's a photographic picture book placing the song's lyrics over photos of kids expressing their happiness. It really is a beautiful book and one that your kids — even those who aren't reading on their own yet — will love reading with you! Along with the book, for every tweet about why reading makes you happy using the hashtag #readHappy, Penguin Young Readers and First Book will donate a book to low-income families. Now that's something we can get happy about!
