Synopsis

Where do smiles come from and where do they go when we can't see them? We find out together with young Joy, in this whimsical tale told in rhyme from beginning to end. When Joy’s smile suddenly disappears, she turns to her Wizard friend for help in finding it. Inside his cheery house, bells and thing-a-ma-bobs are everywhere, but it’s the magical Thing-Matter-Ma-Peep that helps the Wizard to see Joy’s problem. He then sends her on a quirky quest to recover her smile. As she makes discoveries on this journey, children will easily make some of their own.
