During a rainy morning in the city when everybody is in a rush, a child sees something unexpected—a smile! Once he catches it, he can’t stop sharing it. The smile moves from person to person through the city—and maybe around the whole world.
Maya Shleifer’s beautiful celebration of the infectious and healing power of joy will leave readers smiling.
Genre:
-
"A hopeful look at the power of a single, simple action, this is sure to bring a smile to the face of even the grumpiest of readers."BCCB
-
"Shleifer’s gouache, colored-pencil, and wax-crayon illustrations (touched up digitally) feature a dark palette of gray, olive green, and black. But after the exchange of smiles, bright, cheery colors take over. . . . Her message about the infectiousness of smiles isn’t heavy-handed, but it comes across clearly."Horn Book
