Illustrator: Anne Zimanski

I miss your sunny smile. How’d you lose it? Where’d it go? Let’s go searching for a while.” Having a bad day is never fun, but it can be especially difficult for young children to understand that sad feelings are temporary. Through gentle rhymes and warm illustrations, we see a mother helping her son find his smile again.

Kirkus Reviews
“An ode to a child’s love for their teddy bear… Adamson’s text has a gentle bounce, like a familiar lullaby… Zimanski’s illustrations bring the story to life… Adults will relate to the feeling of eagerly trying to cheer up their little ones, while children will no doubt connect with the love of a most precious stuffed animal or toy… A sweet childhood experience captured in an age-appropriate way.”
Shawn Achor, Positive Psychology Expert and NYT Best-selling Author of The Happiness Advantage and Big Potential
“Deb Adamson’s delightful book reminds small children that after a while, there’s always a smile.”
