Because Amelia SmiledStock informationGeneral Fields
Special Fields
DescriptionBecause Amelia smiles as she skips down the street, her neighbour Mrs Higgins smiles too, and decides to send some cookies to her grandson Lionel - in Mexico. The cookies give Lionel an idea, and his idea inspires a student, who in turn inspires a ballet troupe - in England! And so the good feelings that started with Amelia's smile make their way round the world, from a goodwill recital in Israel, to an impromptu rumba concert in Paris, to a long-awaited marriage proposal in Italy, to a knitted scarf for a beloved niece back in New York. Putting a unique spin on "what goes around comes around", David Ezra Stein's charmingly illustrated story reminds us that adding even a little kindness into the world is sure to spur more and more kindness, which could eventually make its way back to you!
