SHAWN ACHOR spent over a decade at Harvard University studying the principles of happiness before penning the international bestseller, The Happiness Advantage. He is also the founder of Good Think. To teach his happiness principles to younger readers, he collaborated with his sister, Amy Blankson, to write Ripple's Effect.
"Teaching young children to use the power of positive thinking
shows them that they have more control over their environment than
they realize." - Amy Blankson from "PBS Parents: Raising a Positive
Child in a Negative World"
"How to Make a Shark Smile is a sweet and inventive take on
thwarting a bully. Ripple's good nature and quick wits make this a
fun and helpful read for anyone who's had to deal with a 'Snark.'"
- Nancy Coffelt, author/illustrator of Aunt Ant Leaves Through the
Leaves
"How to Make a Shark Smile teaches kids that it's never too soon to
learn about the power of a smile, and that facing fear with
friendliness could turn a bully into a buddy" - Cristina Kessler,
author of The Best Beekeeper of Lalibela
"A compelling and age-appropriate story on the mechanics of a
positive mindset." - School Library Journal
"Children would have fun adopting Ripple's game to try and make one
another smile. This is a story of inclusion and could be used as a
read-aloud to accompany discussions about bullying." - School
