When I Smile: A Book of Kindness

A sweet interactive picture book about all the things a smile can do, from author Jo Witek and illustrator Christine Roussey, the bestselling creators of In My Heart.

With charming text, bright full-color illustrations, and irresistible die-cut shapes that allow readers to peek through to the next page, When I Smile shows the power and gift of a smile.

One girl discusses the power of a smile and the many different smiles she gives to those around her throughout the day. There are soft, sleepy smiles that greet a new day; goofy smiles with her best friend; and even playful, supportive smiles, which help her sister when she's feeling down.

The Growing Hearts series celebrates the milestones of a toddler's emotional development, from overcoming fears and expressing feelings to welcoming new siblings.
