The Day Bert Smiled
He and his pup may look a bit different, but their hearts are as big as can be…

And when his mom comes to class to teach the students about his condition, will he find comfort in having supportive playmates?
In a gentle and educational story centered on a boy and his dog who both have a cleft lip and palate, youngsters will learn to appreciate and support their peers and each other. And with compassionate ideas of the various ways youth can help those with medical challenges, your little ones will develop minds and hearts that genuinely care.
