About this title

About the Author:

Sophy Henn lives and works in Sussex, England. She studied Fashion at Central Saint Martins, accidentally had a London-based career as an Art Director in advertising, then completed an MA at University of Brighton in Illustration. Now she writes and illustrates children's books in her studio, with a large cup of tea by her side, and can't quite believe her luck. Where Bear?, her first book, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize in 2015. She is also the World Book Day Illustrator for 2015 and 2016.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 1—A bright message of the power of positive emotion is conveyed in this lovely title. It opens with a billboard stating, "When you see something terrific," and a page turn reveals a full-spread rainbow and the words, "Smile a smile and pass it on." Henn goes on to show young children in bold, colorful illustrations playing, experiencing nature, and enjoying activities such as riding a roller coaster and climbing trees. The simple text suggests that readers take the happy feelings that life gives and share them with friends. Expressed in this unpretentious tale is the concept that loneliness and uncertainty will be replaced with joy when laughter, smiles, and hugs are shared. VERDICT A wonderful storytime offering that will inspire little ones to connect gleefully with those around them. Be sure to read this book aloud and pass it on.—Mary Jennings, Camano Island Library, WA
