What is Smile about?

Clarice Bean has spent the summer daydreaming instead of finishing her school project about endangered things. Now time is running out, and she must find a way to help the planet while dealing with troubles closer to home. Her family needs support, her dad is stressed, her grandad keeps falling over, and her best friend has moved away. With her imagination, kindness and very Clarice-like determination, she discovers that even the smallest person can make a difference.
