Willow's Smile

32 pp. | Kids Can | April, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-77138-549-7 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tania Howells. Willow worries that she won't be able to smile on cue on Picture Day. The lessons here--that everyone has "their own special smiles" and that Willow can look "picture perfect" without a big grin--are reinforced by the childlike illustrations but somewhat obscured as the plot progresses. A reassuring, if not especially deep, walk through Picture Day.
