He is the illustrator of many books, including The Stinky Cheese Man, and the author/illustrator of It’s a Book, Grandpa Green, and John, Paul, George & Ben, among others. He is married to book designer Molly Leach.

 

 

Praise
 

★ ”In a sea of more saccharine winter holiday selections, this wildly funny, whimsical story stands out in all the best ways. To quote the strangest little fellow ever to star in its own Christmas picture book: ‘Joy.’ —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ ”A tender holiday tale about gift giving, friendship, low-stakes sacrifice, and celebration. … Amid many holiday book options that retell the same stories, Stickler stands out as a fresh expression of Christmas spirit.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“The textured mixed-media illustrations are classic Smith, as is Leach’s spirited design, and both complement the wacky quality of his humorous story, which ends sweetly with Stickler also receiving the perfect present (spoiler: it’s a stick).” —The Horn Book
