Just try not to smile A positively inspiring picture book from the creator of the Caldecott Honor-winning Interrupting Chicken. Because Amelia smiles as she skips down the street, her neighbor Mrs. Higgins smiles too, and decides to send a care package of cookies to her grandson Lionel in Mexico. The cookies give Lionel an idea, and his idea inspires a student, who in turn inspires a ballet troupe in England And so the good feelings that started with Amelia's smile make their way around the world, from a goodwill recital in Israel, to an impromptu rumba concert in Paris, to a long-awaited marriage proposal in Italy, to a knitted scarf for a beloved niece back in New York. Putting a unique spin on "what goes around comes around," David Ezra Stein's charmingly illustrated story reminds us that adding even a small dose of kindness into the world is sure to spur more and more kindness, which could eventually make its way back to youBinding Type: HardcoverAuthor: David Ezra SteinPublisher: Candlewick Press (MA)Published: 09/11/2012ISBN: 9780763641696Pages: 36Weight: 1.15lbsSize: 10.70h x 9.90w x 0.50dAward: Charlotte Award - NomineeReview Citations: Publishers Weekly 07/09/2012 pg. 61Kirkus Reviews 08/15/2012Horn Book Magazine 09/01/2012 pg. 75School Library Journal 09/01/2012 pg. 124New Yorker (The) 10/14/2012 pg. 16Booklist 10/15/2012 pg. 52Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2013 - Superior,Well Above AverageAccelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 153759 / Because Amelia SmiledReading Level: 3.5 / Interest Level: Lower Grade / Point Value: 0.5
