The Smile That Went Around the World is a charming children's story
about a smile shared by a Justin when he shared his cookies with
some hungry people. The smile is contagious. It travels from
Justin, to Rupert Price at the airport, to Mrs. Green, to Hong
Kong, to Coach Martinez, the pilot, who flew back home and returned
the smile to Justin, just when he really needed it.
This beautifully illustrated, optimistic story is conveyed both in
and soft, bright colored illustrations, ending with this
observation: You never really know how far a smile can go. When one
comes your way, it may have traveled thousands of miles and cheered
millions of people before it ever reached you. But even more
amazing than that, just think about how far your next smile might
go!--Midwest Book Review
This is a wonderful story to share with young readers, letting them
know just how far a smile will go and that it s a little bit of
magic that is understood in every country of the world. All it
takes is one gesture to get the party started and young readers
will be excited to learn that they can do something that can help
millions of people all over the world. --Lori Calabrese,
Award-winning Children's author
