"[G]orgeous, accessible, simple, true and brilliant. Everything I want in a picture book."
--Jessica Peterson White, Bookseller Review, Content Book Store

"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!)"
--Lafe Cantrall, Bookseller Review, Oblong Books & Music

"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."
--Jesica Sweedler DeHart, Librarian Review, Neill Public Library
