In Smile, award-winning photographer Linda Maron's vivid flower art cheerfully illustrates a fun narrative about smiling, cheering up, and being happy. Maron recently came onto the art-licensing scene with a profusion of bold blooms in her incredibly original "Art of Flowers" collection. Created with a love of flowers, Linda Maron's art combines her gorgeous flower photography with a bit of computer wizardry for a fresh new perspective. The bright, vivid, and cheerful images are all cleverly constructed of flowers. With text penned by award-winning writer Peter Stein, each page is a testament to the inner beauty and strength we all possess. The message of Smile is that you are special and cared for and that everything you need to be happy is already within you. The conversational tone of the narrative makes Smile an easy book to give to young and old . . . or to buy for yourself as a wonderfully fresh pick-me-up. Portal Publications licenses Linda Maron's "Art of Flowers" collection for greeting cards and stationery. Linda's products are sold in Hallmark, Hobby Lobby, Bed Bath & Beyond, Michael's, and other retail stores.
