I remember when I was younger and first discovered Raina Telgemeier’s books. I read and reread them until I had practically memorized every word. In fact, I probably wouldn’t still be reading today if it weren’t for her books.
Smile by Raina Telgemeier is a beautifully written memoir about Raina’s years-long experience with all things braces after a dental accident back in sixth grade. This deeply relatable and humorous novel explores themes of growing up and true friendship.
This book is a delightful introduction to the world of graphic novels and is sure to spark a love of reading in your child. I’m confident this story will become a treasured addition to their collection.

Natasha loves getting lost in books and movies. When she’s not reading or writing, you’ll probably find her sketching or binging on a new show. She’s all about romance, psychological horror, and drama. She has a soft spot for graphic novels, manga, and anything animated.
