I love how this book explains that if you can’t see someone in person, you could still send them a smile with a note in the mail!

The Smile is (…) full of positive messages. It’s ideal for talking about feelings and how we can affect other people wherever they or we are. It’s filled with strong, warm and vibrant colours and engaging drawings.
Jane Sandell, Book Reviewer

The Smile is a gorgeous story about the power that a smile has to spread happiness far and wide. You never know the impact simply smiling at someone could have. Great for exploring emotions, facial expressions, & ‘bucket-filling’.
