<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A small boy has saved all his pocket money and visits the market with high expectations. When disaster strikes and he loses his money, he feels very devastated. But wait, what's that? A Smile Shop? He could really do with a smile. What will happen if he goes in?"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Acclaimed author-illustrator Satoshi Kitamura (<i>Hat Tricks</i>) celebrates human connection and community in this hopeful story about a boy, a benevolent shopkeeper, and a shared smile.</p><p>★ "Stylistically reminiscent of Uri Shulevitz with a dash of Tomie dePaola.... A satisfyingly--and deceptively--simple tale about sincere pleasures in hectic times." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, STARRED REVIEW</b></p><p>A small boy has saved all his pocket money, and today's the day he'll buy something special just for himself!</p><p>There's lots to see and smell at the market, from tasty pies to colorful toys and noisy instruments. But before he can even make up his mind, disaster strikes and he loses his money down a drain. Oh no! But wait, what's this? A store called the Smile Shop? Could he buy a smile? A small one, perhaps, to cheer himself?</p><p>Featuring charming, classic illustrations reminiscent of Maurice Sendak and Tomie dePaola, Satoshi Kitamura's <i>The Smile Shop</i> is an absorbing story of community, self-worth, and the effect of a smile shared between two people. An apt parable for a time when smiles and expressions of warmth are in high demand.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] wonderful story... The busy illustrations...feature fine but imprecise line work that give a childlike quality to scenes sure to resonate with young readers.... A lovely reflection on happiness." --Booklist<br><br>"Told in the first person, the boy's narrative features evocative language that conveys his experiences as he takes in the sights, smells, and temptations of the shops.... Simple illustrations brimming with eye-catching details are stylistically reminiscent of Uri Shulevitz with a dash of Tomie dePaola. The classic, subdued palette perfectly complements the boy's journey... A satisfyingly--and deceptively--simple tale about sincere pleasures in hectic times." --Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW<br>
