One Smile

About One Smile

Even the smallest acts of kindness can powerfully impact the lives of others. This truth is beautifully demonstrated in One Smile as readers follow the far-reaching effects of one little girl’s innocent smile. Young Katie smiles a sad-looking man who has lost his job. That smile touches his heart, and inspires him to do something kind for another. This circle of giving ripples through a community as people find kind and simple ways to pay it forward. The chain of kindness Katie sets off comes back full-circle in a surprise ending.

I am an author and teacher who has devoted my career to helping and inspiring young children for over 30 years. I have written two award-winning children’s books: One Smile (2003 Benjamin Franklin Award) and One Voice (2013 Preferred Choice Award and 2014 Carol Reiser Award) published by Illumination Arts, both about the wonderful impact of small acts of kindness.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in the Teaching of Reading. I love to read, take naps, and watch birds while relaxing on my deck. I started watercolor painting and am a bit addicted. I love to make and send cards to everyone for any reason just to brighten their day. I have two grown boys, and live with my husband Dan and my sweet cat Watson in Milford, Michigan.
