7th October World Smile Day

In 2022, World Smile Day will take place on the 7th of October 2022. The idea of the day is to do a simple act of kindness for someone to make them smile. If we all make the effort to do one thing to make each other smile, we'll all be grinning in no time. 

Smiling is a gesture that is understood across the world, whether you speak the same language or not. Sharing your smile makes you feel good, and makes the other person feel good too.

I have written about this day before and smiles before, but have realised that the library has even more books now that could also be used to celebrate this day.
