All The Ways To Be Smart

All the Ways to Be Smart — Davina Bell

What does it mean to be smart? It could be asking big questions, making up silly songs, caring for a friend or imagining a whole new world. This joyful, beautifully illustrated book celebrates all the different ways children can be clever, creative, kind and wonderfully themselves. With playful rhymes and vibrant illustrations by Allison Colpoys, it's a heartwarming reminder that there's no single way to shine. 🌈

Why I chose it

I chose this one for little readers who are discovering their strengths and learning that everyone has something special to offer.

I love the message that being smart isn't just about knowing the answers or being the best at something. It's also about kindness, imagination, curiosity and the little things that make each child unique. This is the kind of book I'd want every child to grow up hearing — especially those who need a reminder that they don't have to be good at everything to be amazing. 💛
