Trade Review
"Teaching young children to use the power of positive thinking shows them that they have more control over their environment than they realize." - Amy Blankson from "PBS Parents: Raising a Positive Child in a Negative World"
"How to Make a Shark Smile is a sweet and inventive take on thwarting a bully. Ripple's good nature and quick wits make this a fun and helpful read for anyone who's had to deal with a 'Snark.'" - Nancy Coffelt, author/illustrator of Aunt Ant Leaves Through the Leaves
"How to Make a Shark Smile teaches kids that it's never too soon to learn about the power of a smile, and that facing fear with friendliness could turn a bully into a buddy" - Cristina Kessler, author of The Best Beekeeper of Lalibela
"A compelling and age-appropriate story on the mechanics of a positive mindset." - School Library Journal
"Children would have fun adopting Ripple's game to try and make one another smile. This is a story of inclusion and could be used as a read-aloud to accompany discussions about bullying." - School Library Connection
