Books with title Smile

When Flash's plane crashes in the wilderness, he finds himself injured and alone, armed with nothing but a cheap instant camera. Then out of the sunlight appears a girl in a scarlet dress. Sutira and her brother take Flash home to their remote village, where the people have never met a photographer--or seen a photo. Flash has ten pictures left, but what should he take a picture of? The most beautiful girl in the village? An irreplaceable piece of art? A cow? Flash has always known the magic of photography, but not until he takes those last ten pictures does he realize just what wonders can be worked with light, love, and a camera.From the Hardcover edition.

Raina Telgemeier's #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning graphic memoir based on her childhood!Raina just wants to be a normal sixth grader. But one night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls, severely injuring her two front teeth. What follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that, there's still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turn out to be not so friendly.

Sometimes people don't like you just because you are you, and there isn't really anything you can do about it, except to just keep being the great person you are. This book was written to remind everyone who has ever been bullied, made fun of or treated in a mean way (and that just about includes everyone) that this too will pass, and that all you ever need is one true friend. This friend can be anyone. It can be your mother, your father, your grandmother, your sister, your aunt or your uncle or brother. The point is to remember you are never alone, and how you are being treated today may be entirely different from how you are treated when you grow up, because each of you have greatness inside of you. Find out who our protagonist's best friend is and why others made fun of her. It is all rather silly. What you need to to is remember there is nothing wrong with you. There actually something wrong with those who persecute you, just as there is/was something wrong with those Penelope Dyan simply calls "the distractors" in this book. Use this book as a starting point to open a conversation about bullying, what it means and why it is wrong; and explore in conversation why those who do this are merely distractors!
