Synopsis

The world is mostly good. It can be easy to forget that.

After years of drawing Human Cull— a comic about an alien removing the most annoying people on the planet—cartoonist Alex Hallatt decided it was time to look the other way. Reasons to be Cheerful is the result: over 100 illustrated moments, observations and small joys that make life genuinely worth smiling about.

Libraries. Alfresco lunches. Dogs with their heads out of car windows. The smell of something good in the oven. Getting real mail. A stranger who stops to help. The first broad beans of the season. Eating fish and chips on the beach. These are all reasons to be cheerful, and there are many more.

Drawn from Alex's life across England, Spain, Australia and New Zealand, these sketches celebrate the everyday pleasures that the news cycle never bothers to mention; the ones that are there if you remember to look for them.

Whether you need cheering up, want to pass some cheer along, or just love a book that makes you nod and smile on every page, this is for you.

A perfect gift for anyone who needs reminding that the world isn't all bad.

À propos de l'auteur

Alex Hallatt is a cartoonist and writer, who has lived in the UK, US, Australia, Spain and New Zealand (where she currently lives with her partner, Duncan). Her illustrated experiences of living in the coastal town of Hondarribia, Spain have been published in A Basque Diary. Being bullied at school is something Alex remembers vividly and she wouldn't want it to happen to anyone else. It inspired her first chapter book for 8-12 year olds: FAB (Friends Against Bullying) Club. FAB Club was a big hit with kids and the sequel: FAB Club 2 - Friends Against Cyberbullying is out now. Alex is also the creator of Arctic Circle, a syndicated comic strip, distributed worldwide by King Features. It is about three penguins who have emigrated to the Arctic and has an underlying environmental theme. Her tongue-in-cheek single panel comic, Human Cull, appears on GoComics.com and the best of them are found in the bumper Book of Culls. Doodle Diary is another panel running on GoComics.com and includes Alex's New Zealand Diary and Reasons to Be Cheerful. Alex's preschool book, Hoover the Hungry Dog, features a greedy yellow dog who first appeared in a website about lunch. The website is no more, but Hoover was too fun a character to disappear with it. Alex also illustrates books for other publishers, including Walter Foster, Hachette Livre and Summersdale. More of her cartoons can be seen at www.alexhallatt.com, where you can sign up to her illustrated epistle to see what she is working on now.
