The Smile Shop by Satoshi Kitamura

Acclaimed author-illustrator Satoshi Kitamura (Hat Tricks) celebrates human connection and community in this hopeful story about a boy, a benevolent shopkeeper, and a shared smile.

★ Stylistically reminiscent of Uri Shulevitz with a dash of Tomie dePaola. A satisfyingly--and deceptively--simple tale about sincere pleasures in hectic times. --Kirkus Reviews, STARED REVIEW

A small boy has saved all his pocket money, and today's the day he'll buy something special just for himself

There's lots to see and smell at the market, from tasty pies to colorful toys and noisy instruments. But before he can even make up his mind, disaster strikes and he loses his money down a drain. Oh no But wait, what's this? A store called the Smile Shop? Could he buy a smile? A small one, perhaps, to cheer himself?

Featuring charming, classic illustrations reminiscent of Maurice Sendak and Tomie dePaola, Satoshi Kitamura's The Smile Shop is an absorbing story of community, self-worth, and the effect of a smile shared between two people. An apt parable for a time when smiles and expressions of warmth are in high demand.
