Why is the cousin laughing? (exp. 2024)

What makes you happy? What makes you laugh?

Someone is laughing. It's Mika's cousin.
But why is the cousin so happy? Alvdis and Hamsa wonder.
Have they been invited to a party, or seen a funny video?
Have they found a treasure? Or are they just nervous?

In the picture book Why is the cousin laughing? we get to follow Alvdis and Hamsa as they ponder what reasons there might be for laughing. A cozy, clever and funny children's book that sparks fun conversations about feelings.
