Clarice Bean 6-Book Giveaway

For A Mighty Girl's new giveaway, we're delighted to present Clarice Bean, Smile, the latest book in Lauren Childs' beloved illustrated chapter book series!

With her school project overdue, the Clarice Bean finds herself lost in her daydreams, pondering big themes like endangered creatures and the delicate balance of life on Earth. If only she could focus, she might come up with a subject for her big school assignment and invent something "exceptionordinarily good" that could change the world for the better! But soon she realizes it's not just the planet that needs help; there's her whole family too – like a forgetful granddad who keeps falling, a dad who is literally getting sick from a stressful office merger (whatever that may be), and even herself after she breaks a tooth and has to visit an emergency dentist. Surrounded by challenges from every direction, Clarice will need to draw on her boundless imagination and caring spirit to balance all of these different needs and find a way to help.

The irrepressible Clarice Bean and her family and friends have long been a favorite with kids. Now, they can follow Clarice as she discovers that sometimes the smallest person can make the biggest difference; after all, she reflects, it's tiny plankton that keep us from "probably living on Mars." Through her quirky observations and creative thinking, she discovers that a smile can be contagious, that listening is as important as doing, and that when everyone contributes what they can – even if it's just a kind word or a helping hand – families and communities grow stronger together. As Clarice puts her unique talents to work, she learns that making things better doesn't always require grand inventions; sometimes it just takes heart, humor, and the courage to be yourself.
