The Smile that Travels the World

After a humiliating day at school, Lulu is determined to never ever smile again! With the help of a fairy, Lulu finds out that one little smile she gave starts a whirlwind smiling tour. Come take the journey with Lulu around the world and see where her smile takes her. You won't believe where Lulu's smile ends up!

We love to support home grown talent and that it is: talent! Beautifully written by Ellen Jezerinac, the story takes us on a fantastic journey around the world highlighting many wonderful people, monuments, landscapes and cultures, which many children have never seen or heard about. The Smile that Travels the World is a story that appeals to children and adults alike. It reminds all of us that no matter where we are or who we are in the world that each individual has value. It also shows us that even though we may look different, have different customs and live in different parts of the world as human beings we are all the same. We all feel, we all want to love and we all want to feel valued no matter what our age. Anyone, any age can share a smile. It's a small gesture that can change our world.

Illustrated by Ellen and her children, Dario and Daniela. Target age group: 5-8.
