Happy Mail: Keep in Touch with Cool & Stylish Handmade Snail Mail

This cheerfully illustrated guide from the sister founders of the Hello!Lucky design studio highlights the basics of writing, embellishing, and sending mail. Lined pages offer readers space to practice lettering, followed by projects that include making greeting cards (an apology card featuring a large pretzel reads, “Sorry I was salty”), personalized stationery, and decorative envelopes, as well as writing a letter to one’s future self. The Moyles urge readers to have fun creating correspondence while emphasizing how meaningful it can be to reach out to someone the old-fashioned way: “Letter-writing takes time, and the process helps us appreciate the people we love.” Sample stationery and cards are included. Ages 8–12. (Sept.)
