Leo had lost three teeth in one week and felt very grown up. So the Tooth Fairy left him something special: a tiny map drawn on the back of her note.
It showed a trail from his bedroom to the kitchen, where the cookie jar waited. But the map was upside down. When Leo followed it, he giggled all the way — the "X" was under his own pillow, where the next tooth already rested.
"The best maps," the note said, "point you back to the smiles you already have."
