    A delightful addition to the This Isn't a Book series, this playful, illustrated, rhyming gift book will instantly share a smile and boost someone’s mood.

    “This isn’t a book, it’s good vibes in disguise. Just because you deserve a bright moment, that’s why. It’s good vibes on the off-chance you’ve had a blah day, vibes to perk you right up, send the dark clouds away.”

    This might look like a book, but really it’s a playful pick-me-up, a pep talk, a high-five just when it’s needed most. Support and encourage a friend or loved one—anyone who could use a mood-boost—with the upbeat rhymes and grin-worthy illustrations.

    Inside you’ll find a bubbly star friend sharing all kinds of good vibes—a bouquet you didn’t expect or waking up on the right side of the bed or your absolute favorite pop song—the one you can’t hear without dancing along.

    Share this lighthearted yet sincere “book” with anyone in your life who could use a cheerful hello—from a grandparent who lives far away, a college student missing home, a friend who could use a get-well gift, a relative serving overseas, a long-distance partner, to a loved one celebrating a birthday.

    The This Isn't a Book series, written by M.H. Clark and illustrated by Katie Vernon, also includes It’s a Hug in Disguise, It’s a Smooch in Disguise, and It’s My Thanks in Disguise.
    M.H. Clark is an award-winning poet and writer. Through her inspiring children’s stories, empowering books, and thought-provoking gifts and guided journals, Clark connects readers of all ages to the wonder in the world and the wonder within themselves. View titles by M.H. Clark
