Every child is smart in his or her own way. Some of the ways highlighted in a pleasing rhyme include creativity, physical activities, music, emotional sensitivity, memorizing information, math, and traditional academic knowledge...This is a charming book to help children understand that everyone has special skills and talents. <br />--<b><i>Catholic Library Journal</i></b></p> <p>"What does it mean to be smart? This beautiful book inventories all the unique, not-so-academic ways a person might be smart throughout their day; from being good at taking risks, to being kind, or knowing how to sit quietly and observe. A welcome message that is a delight to share with students with it's gentle and warm rhyming text. The illustrations depict a wide array of diverse people and creatures in colorful scenes that take up the whole page. A gorgeous addition to school and public libraries, and a lovely gift for any child." <br />--<b><i>Southeast Pennsylvania School Library Book Reviewers</i></b></p> <p>"For any child who has ever worried about being "smart", Australian author Bell and artist Colpoys offer an expansive, reassuring look at the many ways there are to be that way...Colpoys' illustrations, showing a busy, multiracial, multi-gifted cast, convey joyous variety and abundant compassion." <br />--<b><i>Toronto Star</i></b></p> <p>"What does it mean to be smart?

A needed reassurance that tests can't measure everything, and that we need all kinds of kids to create a smart and inventive world. This book is comforting, inspiring, and fun!" <br />--<b>Bethany Strout, Staff Pick, Tattered Cover</b></p> <p>"An important reminder for readers of all ages that there are so many wonderful ways to be smart. Vibrant colours and charming whimsical illustrations fill the pages with character, and the rhythmic, rhyming text makes it a delight to read out loud. A necessary and joyful celebration of all the different things that we can do, from "reading, writing, spelling" to "caring, sharing, scaring" to my personal favourite "drawing very pointy stars"." <br />--<b>Sarah R., Staff Pick, Powell's</b></p> <p>"This should be required reading--in families, at workplaces, in schools.

Everything I want in a picture book." <br />--<b>Jessica Peterson White, Bookseller Review, Content Book Store</b></p> <p>"I remember feeling so frustrated as a child because I wanted there to be more than one meaning of "smart". This book validates how everyone is smart in their own unique way. I want to share this book with every child (and adult!)" <br />--<b>Lafe Cantrall, Bookseller Review, Oblong Books & Music</b></p> <p>"Smart is as unique as each of us and there are infinite ways to be smart. What if we all grew up with this message, imagine the doors it would open and the opportunities it would provide. One of the most pivotal messages that children need to hear and illustrated with a brilliant spectrum of colours that leap from the page and right into the heart." <br />--<b>Jesica Sweedler DeHart, Librarian Review, Neill Public Library</b></p><br>
