'A smile costs nothing, but gives so much'. With one short poem,
French writer and humanitarian Raoul Follereau spoke to the world
about the value of this fundamentally human expression. Since 1920
'A Smile' has been translated into many languages around the world.
In this first presentation in a children's book, the poignant words
accompany an intergenerational story in pictures about two
children, and the many lives affected by their infectious smiles. A
dejected street musician. A lonely businessman. An exhausted
teacher. All are uplifted by the generosity, compassion and
friendship inspired by a simple smile. Created in paper collage by
internationally award-winning illustrator Hoda Hadadi, the
illustrations burst with joyful emotions that will impact the
hearts of every reader. Although Raoul Follereau passed away in
1977, his belief in the ability of children to change the world
shines through in this book. A closing note shares details about
Follereau's work: his thirty years travelling the world with his
equally committed wife, to give aid to and raise awareness for
people with leprosy, and his creation of World Leprosy Day, which
is still marked on the last Sunday in January every year. The Raoul
Follereau Foundation in Paris, and 14 associations around the
world, continue his humanitarian work.
