The event attracted the participation of many artists and received attention from international friends. Present at the ceremony were ambassadors from four countries: Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Pakistan and Kazakhstan, along with representatives of the Writers' Association Publishing House, parents and especially the team of young "artists" - those who wrote each word and each emotional drawing for the book.
In her emotional opening speech at the event, teacher Ha Viet Anh - founder and head of "Happy Literature Class" was moved and shared: "For me, this is an opportunity for me to return to my 'old home', the house at 65 Nguyen Du Street, which brought me closer to my passion for literature, from which I continued to dream bigger dreams where children and parents were with me. 'Happy Stories' is a book that marks 10 years of pursuing my passion and dedicating all my love to children, as well as the enduring journey of 'Happy Literature Class'".
The book "Happy Stories" was published by the Writers Association Publishing House with the participation of: 70 child "writers", 36 child "artists", 17 child "translators", 49 child "announcers"...
Teacher Ha Viet Anh introduced that the book was created by children from 10 to 17 years old: from writing stories, drawing illustrations, translating Vietnamese - English to recording audiobooks. For her, childhood is the most beautiful and innocent time, so she wants from "Happy Stories", the value of happiness will be multiplied and artistic creation will always be the path to help children laugh every day, freely create...

Reading the work, writer Dao Ba Doan, Editor-in-Chief of the Writers' Association Publishing House, shared: "Artistic creation is a story about emotions. No one or "AI" can replace the thinking, aesthetics, pain, and happiness of a human being."
"I used to 'practice being a writer'; to be able to say what I wanted to say, that was when I was happy because my father bought me a ball, a new set of clothes, a school bag; sometimes when I was beaten by my mother, wrongly blamed or had a strange dream... At that time, I was the same age as the child authors and like them, I did not rely on anyone to write for me, maybe that's why I became a writer. 'Happy Literature Class' is a wonderful journey, the Writers Association Publishing House is also very happy to accompany the good things that teachers and students are aiming for...", writer Dao Ba Doan emphasized.
"Happy Stories" is a beautiful, simple, and lovely story, starting from real experiences with small joys when children are told stories by their mothers, sadness because they accidentally broke a vase, and warmth when friends share candy... Those small things are the purest material of literature, when told in a childish language, without exaggeration or assumptions.
Another highlight of the event was the exhibition of 69 paintings by the child "artists". The paintings are innocent and full of imagination. Each painting tells a story, a color that reflects the soul of childhood. The works were both displayed and auctioned to raise funds for the next projects of the class in a practical way so that art can continue to inspire children.

Teacher Ha Viet Anh - a special mother of the children - expressed that 10 years is not a long time for an educational journey, but it is enough to create a small community where children can listen, write, and express themselves. In the digital age, teaching children to patiently sit down to write a story, draw a picture or practice pronunciation for a recording is to train skills, and at the same time sow the seeds of love, courage and connection with life and with people.
In the artistic space of house number 65 - where passion originates, small but loving stories have been written with the pure heart of childhood. "Happy Stories" is an impressive work, also a vivid proof of the belief: When children are listened to, encouraged to tell their stories, this world will be warmer, more sincere and more hopeful.
The journey of "Happy Literature Class" is a journey of perseverance and unconditional love that teacher Ha Viet Anh and her colleagues have woven every day with words and smiles. There, children are not forced to grow up or be good, they just need to be themselves, to create the way they feel, to draw with dreamy eyes and read aloud what their hearts want to say.
In each story, each picture, each recording resounding from immature voices, is the sound of a beautiful world that adults often forget: the world of tolerance, of simple joy, of small but passionate dreams. It is from there that art, like a seedling, grows with the purest and most sincere perspective. And as Ms. Ha Viet Anh often tells her students: "We do not write to become writers. We write to become happy people."
The book "Happy Stories" is released and all proceeds from the book and exhibition will be used to continue raising funds for creative classes and supporting children in difficult circumstances.
