Little Book of Happiness

There are moments in life that sparkle, not because they are grand or monumental, but because they are quietly beautiful. A child's laughter in the garden. The steam rising from a morning cup of coffee. A handwritten note from a friend, tucked into a book. These are the moments that linger in the heart, long after they've passed. A Little Book of Happiness is a collection inspired by such moments, a celebration of the soft, radiant joy found in everyday life.Victoria Reiby has long found solace and wonder in the small things. Her poetry springs from a life lived with curiosity and warmth, a life shaped by travel across continents, the shared language of food, and a reverence for stillness. Whether wandering through the spice-scented streets of Marrakech, tasting fresh mango in a bustling Balinese market, or simply watching the golden light shift across a kitchen table in the late afternoon, Victoria sees with the eyes of a poet. And more than that, she writes with the heart of one.This book is not just a collection of poems. It's an invitation. A gentle beckoning back to yourself. It reminds us that in a world often caught in noise, speed, and distraction, there is healing in slowing down. In noticing. In cherishing. In remembering the things that make us feel most alive.Each poem in this collection has been carefully chosen and lovingly shaped to offer comfort, hope, and joy. There are verses about wandering and homecoming, about food lovingly prepared and moments shared. Some poems will make you smile softly; others might draw a tear or stir a memory. There are poems for mornings filled with promise and for evenings when the sky turns lavender and you need something gentle to carry you through.
