Originally, Optimist Day was intended to replace April Fool’s Day.
Focusing on looking at the bright side and remaining hopeful might be a better way to spend the day than falling for stupid pranks, but sadly, April Fool’s Day wouldn’t budge, so in 2013, February 2 was proposed as the permanent celebration to mark the trait of optimism. If you’re a half glass full kind of person, you may enjoy better physical and mental health as a result. Not sure how to stay optimistic? Your local Optimist International club might be able to help!
To celebrate Optimist Day, we’ve selected three books with an optimist main character.
