What if you discovered one day you did something that helped millions of people all over the world and changed their lives? Something so simple that it was recognised and understood by everyone in every country everywhere ...and all it took was a kind gesture to get it started. Too good to be true? Then it's time for you to meet THE SMILE THAT WENT AROUND THE WORLD. In a modern world where emails and photos can be sent to the other side of the planet in seconds, where planes fly to far off countries everyday, where city pavements and streets are covered with millions of people going in millions of directions, it makes you realise just how easily a simple smile can actually go around the world. Here's an uplifting story of how one smile finds its way around the world, cheering up everyone along the way. What starts out as a simple gift, soon turns into a chain-reaction of smiles and kindness in this heart-warming story about a smile ...that went around the world. Each smile sparks another and then another and another and another until one day, the young boy who first sent the smile on its way finds himself feeling sad. Before he knows it, that same special smile appears out of nowhere ...when "he" needs it most.
