Description

What if one smile could change the world?

In the gloomy town of Gloomville, smiles are rare and grumpiness reigns. That is, until one bright, brave smile appears on the corner of 5th Street and Main-unbothered, unashamed, and unstoppable. As this mysterious smile spreads across town, the Grumps find themselves questioning their sour ways, especially when even the Grumpiest Grump of all is challenged to try happiness for himself.

Told in bouncy rhyme and full of heart, SMILE is a playful and powerful story about emotional choice, the courage to be joyful in an unhappy world, and how even the smallest positive act can create a ripple effect. Perfect for classroom read-alouds, family bedtime routines, and anyone who needs a reminder that gratitude and joy are contagious.

Ideal for ages 4-8, SMILE speaks to children learning about emotions, kindness, and personal agency-while offering a delightfully grumpy cast of characters for comic relief. With its uplifting message and memorable rhymes, this book makes a lasting impression on young readers and adults alike.

One smile. One choice. One big change.
