Running Smile is a heartfelt children's story collection inspired by a real upcycled art figure from the Upcycling Museum in Weiler zum Stein (Leutenbach), Germany, created from used materials by trash artist Tanja Muriel Louise Seifert.
Across 15 sweet, emotional stories, Running Smile guides little readers through gentle adventures about happiness, movement, sports, and character-showing that true strength is kindness, and real victory is respect. With every run, game, and challenge, children learn important values like fair play, honesty, courage, empathy, teamwork, sharing, boundaries, apologies, and caring for nature.
Perfect for bedtime reading and family moments, this book offers warm comfort, simple wisdom, and uplifting moral lessons-helping children build confidence, emotional resilience, and a loving heart, one story at a time.
