"Happy Hearts" by June Isle is a collection of stories for children, written during the mid-19th century. The book revolves around the themes of kindness, charity, and the joy of giving, featuring a family dedicated to helping those in need, particularly around the Christmas season. The narrative follows the Payson family, who, through gentle teachings from their mother, learn the importance of spreading happiness and kindness in their community. The children express concern for underprivileged families, like the Grants and the Fishers, and engage in thoughtful acts of charity by sharing their toys and resources. As they prepare for Christmas, the story emphasizes the significance of good deeds and selflessness, reinforcing that true happiness stems from loving and helping others, despite material wealth. Throughout the tale, we witness the children's transformations and the positive impact their actions have on both themselves and those they assist, culminating in a heartwarming celebration that unites joy and compassion.
