After Willard steals Sophie's smile, her parents and friends try to cheer her up but with no luck, so Sophie decides to confront Willard to get her smile back.
Es la clase de historias que me hubiera gustado leer cuando niña. Cada acción trae sus consecuencias, y la sonrisa más auténtica no es la que damos para agradar a otros, sino la que nace de nuestra propia satisfacción.
¿Esa sonrisa tiene que estar ahí todo el tiempo? ¿Me quieren a mí o a la estúpida sonrisa?
El final siento que fue muy contradictorio y, personalmente, no me gustó. Burlarse de quien la molestó y así recuperar la sonrisa que el otro le quitó... no sé 3/5🌟
Stolen Smile- Thierry Robberecht This book grabbed my attention because of the title. I feel my students who are coming from a Spanish home come to schools here in America with a stolen smile. They tend to be shy, sometimes they don’t smile because they are scared they are in a totally different environment. They are also around students and teachers who speak a whole different language and are expected to learn the skills. The illustrations are easy for a student to follow allow. The illustrations seem what a child would draw. Making this as a aspect, a connection for a child. The values it represents is a little girl who is shy, cannot smile because she got it stolen by little boy. I remember when I was the main character’s age and I was shy and would want to fit in with my classmates. That shyness allowed for me to not really have friends, and I feel part of this book the author wanted to represent how lonely the girl felt. Another connection a student can make. Especially when the little girl finds out the boy actually likes her and ends up making a fool out of himself. This book connects on a level where the student might have a hard time making friends. However, at the end allows for a student to see they are never alone, there is always someone who wants to make you smile.
