Sharing a Smile par Nicki Kramar
All of Sophie's neighbors are wearing masks to keep each other safe during a changing time (pandemic, but it's not specifically stated). Sophie and her grandfather sew masks for each of their neighbors that reflect the interests of each person: A mask with flowers for the gardening neighbor, a musical note mask for the mail carrier who wears headphones, a bike wheels pattern for the bike-riding kids.
Bright and bold, these pages address the idea of wearing masks and how to bring smiles even if they aren't directly seen.
This is a book set very much for current event s and today's time period, and addresses the 'weirdness' kids might find at the idea of everyone wearing masks. It does a good job at calming and soothing any strangeness about it. But that's only the beginning of this one.
Through colorful and vibrant illustrations, the joy and energy is kept high and slides right into the entire meaning behind this book. Whether or not masks are around, this one has a wonderful message, which never wears out. It's wonderful to bring joy to others, and this is something even young listeners can do.
A young girl wonders about the situation as she watches the world around her from her window, and then she sews masks with her father to spread around...ones printed fitting to each person and personality they are giving them to. Firstly, I loved the idea of the child and father sewing together, since this is a skill very often overlooked in today's world. Secondly, there is a lovely message of working at something with the sole purpose to give a little joy to others. This alone is a very inspiring message, timeless, and tends to be underrated in today's busy (and sometimes cold) world. And while these messages are being brought across, the joy and fun still stays at the front of this read.
It makes a nice read aloud for groups as well as for individual reading moments. The text is appropriate for the age group, describes people and scenes kids can relate to, and has a girl and father, who are simply a joy to read about.
I received a complimentary copy and found this one packed with happy thoughts.… (plus d'informations)

The cover shows the characters smiling all the way up to their eyes. Sophie is worried because she can't tell if her neighbors are smiling when they wear mask. Her Grandpa comes up with a great idea. Fun and touching story for school and family read aloud.
