Smile "Smile, it's OK to be you!" is Karen's first children's book. "Smile" is based on a bullying experience Karen's son with special needs faced in elementary school. Karen's goal in sharing this story with families and children is twofold: one, to highlight the importance of helping children cope with bullying, and two, to reinforce that children of all abilities need to believe in themselves. Karen is passionate about promoting healthy self-esteem and self-worth for all children, and she encourages families to do the same.
