My Wiggly Smile

Book excerpt: Follow Olive after she wakes up on her first day of kindergarten, with her first ever loose tooth. This picture book was inspired by Dr. Amira May Woodruff's everyday life as a dentist. No matter how nervous a young child is to go to the dentist, he or she is always ecstatic to have a loose tooth. There is a coloring chart in the back of the book, which gives children the opportunity to keep track of which teeth they lose. There is also a chart explaining which age they can expect to lose each tooth. Knowledge about one's body is empowering at every age. My Wiggly Smile is the book young children will want to bring with them to their dental visits, and the book older children will secretly keep.
