Curious Smiles is an uplifting tale about a grandparent and his sassy, 10-year-old granddaughter Jamie. It's fall 2020; the pandemic rages; schools are "remote learning only." During a Zoom call, Grandpa strives to help Jamie with homework, which is about Grandpa. Rather than divulge the assignment directly, she teases him to gather information. They clash about "wrinkles," the COVID shutdown and vaccinations before she turns the tables on him. After he's been playfully duped, he wonders whether "whimsy" has successfully created his legacy gift for Jamie.
