Happiness and kindness can be contagious!

Ripple, the new dolphin at the aquarium, is surprised that no one in her new home plays or has any fun at all — all because of a bullying shark named Snark. Ripple teaches her new friends that happiness is a choice, and that we can each make the world a better place because of who we choose to be. They challenge Snark to a staring competition — if they can make Snark smile, everyone gets to play. If not, Snark’s no-fun rules will rule. Will Ripple have the effect she hopes for?

About the Author

To teach his happiness principles to younger readers, he collaborated with his sister, Amy Blankson, to write Ripple's Effect. Amy Blankson is a positive leadership consultant and among her many achievements, has been named a Point of Light by Presidents Bush and Clinton. As a mother of three, she hopes Ripple's Effect will inspire young people to make a positive difference in their world.
