The story

On a little island off the coast of Western Australia lives Quinn, the quokka with the biggest smile around. But one morning the rain comes down, pitter, patter, plop, and everyone is grumpy.

Quinn wraps on his red scarf and sets off with a plan: he'll share his smile. He grins at Pete the sulky pelican on the jetty, holds a leaf umbrella over Bo the bobtail lizard, and gives his own cosy scarf to Sal the shivering seagull. One by one, his friends start smiling too, and soon they're all splashing in puddles as a rainbow stretches over the island.

What kids will love

With warm watercolour illustrations and simple read-aloud text, this cheerful story shows children how small acts of kindness can change everyone's day, and that a smile is something that grows when you give it away.
