The citizens of Sad-Grumpy will not smile, and they will not say hello. When Frankie finds out that Sad-Grumpy has no beautiful flowers or green, leafy trees, she calls on her friends the Purplees to deliver the extra-special ingredients for a Smile Machine. By the light of the Halloween moon, Frankie and Peaches set off on a mission to give the gloomy Sad-Grumpys their very first, very nice day.

Kindness is contagious Frankie and Peaches can't wait to pass it on...

The Smile Machine is the third book in the Frankie and Peaches series.

Series Description

Brave, big-hearted Frankie and her floppy-eared pal Peaches have a very long can't-wait-to-do list: grow butterflies, make marshmallow shoes, grow a smile machine, make some furry-feathery friends, and end the Math Monday blues. But their most important mission of all is to spread kindness by breaking the chain of bad feelings, turning frowns into smiles and bullies into buddies. Join Frankie, Peaches, and the Thanks-Welcome Kindness Crew as they help others go from sad and blue to woo-hoo and find out why it's important to care-why it's always cool to be kind

Each title in the series contains discussion questions for parents and teachers.
