In Smile, Sophia, a smart, relatable picture book by author/illustrator Skylaar Amann, a serious dino-loving little girl just doesn’t feel like smiling…and that’s okay. Sophia loves finding fossils and digging up dinosaur bones. But she doesn’t love the way all the grownups just want her to smile. What does smiling have to do with the very serious business of being a scientist?! She’ll smile when she has something to smile about! In this picture book by Skylaar Amann, a young girl shows that being strong, and smart, and really good at what she does is more than enough–and if she smiles, it’s because she wants to!
