Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we're throwing the book spotlight on a Picture Book title that was set in motion thanks to the lovely...the wonderful...coronavirus! (*so silent I can hear crickets chirping*) Okay, so those adjectives have never before been uttered, let alone written in conjunction with this definitely-not-wonderful pandemic, but the book that we're setting our sights on today helps make a bit more sense of the "new world" we're living in for the wee ones among us. I mean, we've not grown up wearing masks, so it's hard enough to get use to, so imagine the strangeness to a child...
Ladies and gents, may I present today's title in the spotlight and ebook of choice...
Remember to Smile
by
Shannon Q. McDonald
About the book...
As
more and more places are requiring masks, and young children are
having to experience so many new, confusing, and sometimes scary
things, Remember
to Smile
adds playfulness and laughs around mask-wearing to help kids see
masks as something fun. With the help of some giggles and an adorable
wiener dog based on the author’s family pup, Remember
to Smile will
help children become more comfortable with the idea of face masks,
and encourage them to keep smiling, even if it has to be hidden from
sight at times
Remember
to Smile proudly
supports the COVID-19 Relief Fund (for Teachers and Students) through

With an adorable puppy leading the way, readers of all ages will gladly follow this adventure from start to finish! Throughout our journey, we discover the many types of masks that are worn in day to day life, depending on your job or occupation, and the importance of wearing their gorgeous smile whether it can be directly seen or not. We see the many fabulous shades these protective shields come in, and the patterns that can add a dash of pizazz to your every day outfit. We also see how they can help us be as serious or silly as we want to be, especially with masks that give us the face of a puppy, kitten, or our favorite animated character!
The most important thing it does though is help normalize in a kid-friendly way a situation that is anything but normal...and THAT can be the difference between having kiddos wear this not-as-comfortable accessory willingly and an every day struggle. We know they're not fool proof, but until things are safer, they're are certainly better than nothing in most situations. Much applause to the author for bringing this perfectly timed topic to the forefront and making it absolutely FUN-tastic!
