Smooch, Smack, Mwah!
When a kiss-averse 8-year-old girl moves to Luxembourg—one of the kissiest places in the world—she does everything she can to avoid the local custom of three kisses.
When a neighbor needs her help, she finally dives headfirst into the culture and embraces her new home. Smooch, Smack, Mwah is a love story to Luxembourg. The rhymes provide a rhythm that carries you into the illustrated and collaged city. Young readers will get a delightful dose of a new culture and learn alongside the main character as she adapts to new ways of doing things at her own pace and on her own terms.
