The day has started gloomy, when it's normally bright. And, so begins a series of change that turns young Miles' day upside down. Once friendly and familiar, everything on that school walk now seems distant, sad, or stressed. The weather. The community workers. Even the neighbor's dog, Daisy. At school, things don't lighten up for Miles. There, he's introduced to a series of new rules meant to help prevent the spread of germs, and all the change overwhelms him, translating into major anxiety and sadness of his own. But, with the help of his patient teacher, Ms. Franklin, Miles learns the value of embracing change and remaining positive. And, he also learns how sharing one little smile, even one you can keep in your pocket, can bring perspective and happiness to yourself and those around you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore relevant than ever before in our current \"pandemic era,\" \u003cem\u003eA Smile in Your Pocket\u003c\/em\u003e provides caregivers with a fun storytime read that provides a conversation primer about good hygiene, social distancing, and coping with emotions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in partnership with an accomplished child therapist, \u003cem\u003eA Smile in Your Pocket\u003c\/em\u003e combines sweet art and rhythmic text to tell a charming story that focuses on CASEL standards of social emotional development, and more specifically about combating negative emotions and the power of positivity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis title is leveled using both the Lexile and Fountas \u0026amp; Pinnell reading level standards.
