FEEDBACK ABOUT THE BOOK

Great book! Vickie

The book is wonderful....what a timely publication during this down economy. I really was tickled to read all the entries by people who found his pieces. What I liked about the book is that it showed his wonderful whimsical art and you could thoroughly delight in it, but it was not about the art...it was about the interaction between art and consumer. I remember an English teacher once telling us that once the piece is written and shared, it no longer belongs to the writer, but to the reader. That is what is conveyed here and I'm pleased he shared both his art and the visual story of his project. It's a beautiful one. I smiled all the way through it....twice! thank you, thank you, thank you!" Janie

A simple story.... a true heart. Bren Bataclan's Smile Project takes a new form. In a world riddled with heartache one man has found a way to make us smile from the inside out. One man... changing this world... inch by inch. Desiree

I love it. It really does make me smile. The testimonials show how a bit of kindness really does help people get through these tough times. Be proud of the bit of happiness you have brought to many people. I am so happy to be a tiny part of it! It is a fun, colorful book with a straightforward layout that lets the photographs do all the work--I love that about it! Anne

It's nice knowing the impact a painting has on someone! I got goosebumps reading a few of the stories!!!! Kimnita
