“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.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, Debby! I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the Smile 🙂
My pleasure Nicholas. It’s a beautiful story with great meaning. 🙂
I really enjoyed this story and the wonderful illustrations 🙂 I’m waiting for my grandson to get a little older and then it’s going on his bookcase.
I also have it for my little grand niece. It’s a beautiful book. 🙂
Aw, thank you! I so hope the Overlord enjoys it! 🙂
He just turned 3 and he’s almost there. I’ll wrap it for Christmas 🙂
A lovely gift! 🙂
This looks lovely. Thanks for the review!
Thanks Christoph. I love how versatile a writer Nicholas is, kind of like you, lol. <3

It sounds like such a sweet read 🙂 Nicholas has such a diversity in the books he publishes, which is great!
Yes. It’s great when you can be so versatile in genres. 🙂 <3
Thank you so much, Christy! 😀
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. 🙂
Indeed. Fast forward. 😉
