The House That Smiled

Tell me when it prints
  • Ages 4–9
  • 20 pages
  • Hardcover · 11 × 8.5 in
  • By Lamont Kirton

Everyone said the house at the end of Maple Street was haunted. But Emeka, Dad, and Coco took one brave step… and found that every “monster” was just something ordinary — and a lonely little kitten who needed a home.

A warm story about being brave and looking a little closer.
