The Girl Who Lost Her Smile

Illustrated by Stefan Czernecki. In the wondrous city of Baghdad lives a young girl called Jehan. One morning, Jehan wakes and sees that her smile is lost. She looks everywhere. Jugglers and fire-eaters come to help her find it. Artists paint murals on the walls of her room. They all try their hardest to entertain Jehan, but still, she cannot find her smile. Derived from a collection of Islamic stories and poetry, this is a simple folktale about uncovering life’s hidden beauty. Illustrated in full-colour throughout. Ages 4-7 years.
