A positively inspiring picture book from the creator of the Caldecott Honor-winning \u003ci\u003eInterrupting Chicken\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause Amelia smiles as she skips down the street, her neighbor Mrs. Higgins smiles too, and decides to send a care package of cookies to her grandson Lionel in Mexico. The cookies give Lionel an idea, and his idea inspires a student, who in turn inspires a ballet troupe in England! And so the good feelings that started with Amelia's smile make their way around the world, from a goodwill recital in Israel, to an impromptu rumba concert in Paris, to a long-awaited marriage proposal in Italy, to a knitted scarf for a beloved niece back in New York. Putting a unique spin on \"what goes around comes around,\" David Ezra Stein's charmingly illustrated story reminds us that adding even a small dose of kindness into the world is sure to spur more and more kindness, which could eventually make its way back to you!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Ezra Stein \u003c\/b\u003eis the author-illustrator of \u003ci\u003eInterrupting Chicken, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was awarded a Caldecott Honor.
