    About this ebook

    Birdy starts every day by smiling at herself in the mirror. She says you can smile while doing just about anything--brushing your teeth, taking out the garbage, or eating broccoli. Okay, maybe not while eating broccoli. Even people with bad teeth (like our first president, George Washington) should show their toothy grins because there's no such thing as a bad smile. So heed Birdy's advice and practice your smile—you'll need it while reading this book!

    Laurie Keller

    Laurie Keller is the bestselling author-illustrator of many books for kids, including Do Unto Otters; Potato Pants!; The Scrambled States of America; the Geisel Award-winning We Are Growing!; and Arnie the Doughnut, as well as three books in the Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut chapter book series. Growing up in Michigan, Laurie always loved to draw, paint and write stories. She earned a B.F.A. at Kendall College of Art and Design, then worked at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City as a greeting card illustrator for seven years. One night, the idea for a children’s book popped into her head and after showing the story to several publishers in New York City, she quit her job and moved there. The following year, that story idea was a published book—The Scrambled States of America. Laurie loved living in NYC, but she returned to her home state, where she lives in the woods along the shores of Lake Michigan.

      Birdy is an inspiration to all who read this story! The author tries to portray a message of loving the skin your in and accepting your self through Birdy's smile. I like this book because it is full of bold colors and great illustrations that grab the readers attention. I also like this book because it sends a positive message to a way that children will understand it. The author also uses different types of media in the illustrations. There are real photographs and illustrations. There is also a mirror in the back of the book so the reader can look at their own smile. It is a really cute story that is able to relate to children.

      I LOVED this book!!! It is impossible not smile while reading this adorable story. The message and illustrations are remarkable. Throughout the story, Birdy shows how smiling can impact the lives of others. For example, she says “Smiles make people HAPPY! I try to smile at everyone I see. And most of the time they smile back!” The text is written in different colors, fonts and sizes, which makes the book extremely enticing. Another great message that was portrayed throughout the book was to own your smile. Many kids compare themselves to others but Birdy explained how everyone’s smile is different. For example, “Lucy Lollipop’s smile is small and sweet. Chip Zimmerman’s smile is big and shiny.” In the back of the book there is a mirror so you can see your smile. It was the perfect ending touch to the book. This book is a must read and is very relatable to not only children but also readers of all ages.
