Klappentext

Every day when Mama picks me up from school, she says, "What made you smile today?"

Moving house and starting a new school can be difficult, but this little girl has just the thing to help her: a smile jar.

As she draws pictures of all the things that make her smile, and puts them in the jar, everything starts to feel just a little bit better.
