The player accessing the Happy Home Handbook.

The Happy Home Handbook is a feature in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. It is given to the player by Tom Nook after the school, the first facility, is built, and it can be accessed from the player's desk. As a manual, the Happy Home Handbook contains various lessons, each of which unlocks a gameplay mechanic, that can be purchased for one to five Play Coins. The first lesson, Ceiling Decor, is free and must be learned to unlock all other lessons. Only one lesson can be learned per in-game day.
