Haven’t you always wondered why teddy bears are so happy? Nässu is only a small bear, but he knows quite a few tricks to cheer him up.

Old brown bear Flowerpaw has taught him that talking to strawberries is as important as listening to the rain, and that if you get up early in the morning, you’ll have time for a longer nap in the afternoon.

Take a walk, take a rest. Life is a million flowers

Wave from the window, even if there’s no one there

Give a hug to someone who needs it the most

Tell the plants what the weather’s going to be like tomorrow. The strawberry wants a hug

Get up before everyone else and quietly sit in a sunny patch

Climb a hill and count all the roofs you can see

Listen carefully to what people are saying so you don’t miss it when they say how much they love you

Pick a sunny day and take your friend for a little drive

Invite your friends over and laugh together at all the silly little jokes you always make when you’re together

Listen to the rain

Be old-fashioned

Go colour-spotting

Dare to stand alone

Play a little every day

Send a real letter in a real envelope to a real post box

Organize a picnic. Look at the sky

Look at the world from a different angle

Read a book that makes you smile

On some mornings, the news doesn’t count. Count the birds instead

Just be as silly or as cute as you like
