Description

Selma is asked: What is happiness?

If she had more time? She would eat a little grass in the morning, play with the children until lunchtime, do a little exercise after lunch, eat a little more grass, chat with her neighbour Mrs Miller in the evening and then have a lovely long sleep. And if she won a million dollars? She would eat a little grass...

Reviews

"'The best in recent picture books.' Jutta Bauer's Selma is a natty little hardback about the joys of simplicity, as expounded by a sagacious sheep. Wise and quietly hilarious; parents may find this a book worth pondering in the midst of the Christmas frazzle." -- New Zealand Listener, David Larsen "A philosophical tale with a healthy dose of quiet humour, this appealed to our whole household " -- Good Teacher Magazine "Selma is an appealing-looking sheep who exudes placidity, contentment, and a little humor." -- Kirkus Reviews
