![]() ![]() One of the things that I love most about Smile is the role that Raina's parents are given in the graphic novel. Telgemeier does a fabulous job capturing the fear that she and her parents felt as well as their response to the situation. When she pulls herself together, she realizes that she has knocked out her two front teeth. Later that night, running with her friends after a Girl Scouts meeting, Raina trips. The next page shows cars zooming down the freeway, taking sixth grader Raina to her first orthodontist appointment where she'll get prepped for braces. Smile has a fabulous title page that shows the view from the top of a mountain overlooking San Francisco, where Telgemeier grew up. ![]()
