Smile^z

A cleft adventure from birth to nine written by a boy born with cleft.

Hi, My name is Quin, my dad calls me Smile^z. 

Even though we look different,

we should all be treated the same.

I have two brothers "Zman", he's two years older than me and "A", he's my identical twin without cleft.

I was born with a severe unilateral cleft lip and palate. Sometimes it is hard to make friends because people think I am ugly, but I think I am cool just because of the way I look. My dad taught me to face my differences and say, "I was born with my nose just like you were born with yours."

I hope you enjoy my book. 

Your Champ, 

Smile^z
