Full of Smiles

Everyday the townspeople pass by the house on the crooked, tree-lined street where a very old woman sits on her porch smiling at them. Sometimes they notice her, but most of the time they don’t. Then one day the very old woman isn’t on her porch. Everyone notices! Full of Smiles, an intergenerational story by Gayle Knutson, speaks to readers of all ages about the value of each person in their community and the importance of not taking one another for granted. Nancy Larkin’s lively illustrations engage both younger and older audiences in this simple but timeless tale.
