Smiling (English, Bengali, Paperback, Bilingual edition)

The latest addition to the Small World series, which shows children around the world engaged in similar activities, focuses on the very human act of smiling. Using full-color photographs, Swain supplies a rhythmic cascade of statements and queries: "Do you smile when you put on a hat?. Do you smile for the camera, just like that?" Every page contains a photograph with one to two lines that are simple enough for beginning readers to attempt. The scope of photographs allows children to stretch their imaginations: some are ethereal, some are humorous, but all convey the information that people are more alike than different. An index provides further information on the locations and settings of the photographs. (Kirkus Reviews)

What makes you smile? This educational picture book shows how people in different cultures practise the universal activity of smiling. The text emphasizes common bonds and shared experiences, while the pictures highlight the richness and variety of human cultures.
