All the Ways to Be Smart (Hardcover)
Staff Reviews
“Smart is not just being best
at spelling bees, a tricky test.
Or knowing all the answers ever…
Other things are just as clever.”
This book celebrates the myriad ways one can be smart—knowing the right thing to say, being welcoming to a shy friend, using your imagination, taking chances. 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!
