Smile So Big

Sunshine Quem Tenasco


"Challa looked into the mirror and saw a brown girl with long hair, a big toothy smile, big brown eyes and the cutest little dimples that looked like raisins on bannock. When Challa comes home in tears after being teased about her smile, her mom greets her with a giant squish hug and gives her a special gift. It’s a magic mirror, shiny, beaded and beautiful, passed on from her mom, and from her djo djo before her. Challa’s mom tells her that when anyone looks into the mirror, they will see their true self. There’s just one rule: Everyone has to say what they see in the reflection. At first the mirror seems to work for everyone but her. Neebin looks into the mirror and sees a boy with long, shiny braided hair and perfectly small sparkling eyes that look like stars in the sky. Keggy looks into the mirror and sees a brown girl with sharp cheekbones, a perfectly pretty nose, and stunning black hair that looks like waves in the ocean. Kiniw sees a boy with long curly eyelashes, a perfect-sized body that gives the best hugs, and rosy cheeks that look like ripe strawberries. Challa keeps looking and looking. The more beauty she sees in herself, the happier she feels. And the longer she looks into the mirror, the more beauty she sees, until finally Challa sees so much beauty, she can't contain her smile! And that’s the smile that lights up the room and the whole world beyond. And Challa sees that the magic lies in love!"
