“I woke up this morning and I had lost my smile and it wasn’t my fault and I looked everywhere and it was gone. Then I met a workman and a king and the best salesman in the world and a clown and no-one wanted to give me theirs. At school, I asked Miss to give me hers, but she gave us a pop quiz instead, and then no-one was smiling and…”

My 5 Star Review – Where do smiles come from?
This is a heartwarming little story accompanied by fun pictures to go along with the stories. A tale of a child searching for his smile and the people he encounters throughout his day whom he questions, asking where he can get his smile back. No doubt, there’s a heartfelt message that comes from his mom, where he learns the true meaning of a smile and where it really comes from. A great children’s book, as well, a great parental read.

Let's CUT the Crap!
What a delightful review, Debby. I love children’s books with colorful pictures. Too bad my granddaughters won’t read now that they have their electronic toys. 🙂

Ya Tess, the digital era has really taken away some of life’s simple pleasures. But they can still read digitally even without the pictures, the message is there. 🙂
Let's CUT the Crap!
Indeed. Fast forward. 😉
