Whether you wake up to the chirping of birds or stumble out the door in a last minute rush, it's important to take some time for yourself in the mornings to boost your mood. Before stepping into the day, prepare yourself with a jolly poem. You could allow the poem that has been selected for that date to soothe you, to excite you, to motivate you: whatever your needs, have a meditative morning moment with a happy poem to set yourself up for a successful day.

With one happy poem for every single day of the year, keep this book by your bedside for a serotonin boost upon waking, on the kitchen counter for a pick-me-up while your coffee brews, or in your rucksack for a moment of (rare) commuting joy. With a delightful illustration for every month and a vast range of poems, it'll be easy to find something that sparks joy within you. From the timeless phrasing of John Keats and Rumi to the celebratory observations of Wendy Cope OBE and Pulitzer Prize Winner Rita Dove, there'll be a moment of delight ready and waiting, just for you.
