The Girl Who Lost Her Smile

32 pp. | Winslow | October, 2000 | Trade ISBN 1-890817-17-1 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stefan Czernecki. When a young girl in Baghdad stops smiling, the sun stops shining, so her father, the townspeople, and a hoopoe bird try their best to find something that will amuse her, to no avail. Inspired by an Islamic story, the tale has an unsatisfying ending, but the simple illustrations, which use flat color and a bold, clean line, are lively and interesting.
