From Alicia Muñoz--the acclaimed therapist and author of the 190,000-copy bestseller A Year of Us--Happy Family is a simple yet deeply engaging gift book that helps families grow closer through small, daily moments of sharing.

You'll discover how dedicating just 15 minutes a day to playful, meaningful conversation can lead to profound shifts in how your family relates, communicates, and understands one another--even if certain family members sometimes drive you up the wall.

Filled with imaginative prompts and inspiring questions, this book gets families laughing, talking, and revealing pieces of their inner and outer worlds. These conversations help build empathy, increase patience, and create real connection in an era where smartphones often dominate our attention.

Whether your family falls silent on long car rides, eats dinner together without really connecting, or struggles for words at holidays, birthdays, and gatherings, the 250 questions in Happy Family offer a fun, fresh starting point. They're unique and engaging enough to get extroverts listening and introverts talking.

Even close, expressive families will discover new angles on familiar topics, learning to cultivate curiosity, celebrate shared history, and appreciate the evolving roles and developmental stages of each family member--from thoughtful toddlers to reluctant teens to wise elders.

Happy Family is more than a conversation book--it's a simple, joyful tool to help bind your family together, one meaningful moment at a time.
