About this deal
This is a fantastic book that has no room for judgement: smart refers to anything, and anyone can be smart.
This book is perfect for a KS1 class but would also be interesting to read with year 6 to get a deeper conversation about what "smart" means to each of them and how it has been taught throughout their schooling so far.We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung of the Kulin Nations — the first and continuing custodians of the land on which our books are created.
Good scores in a test are great but the importance of celebrating the creative, collaborative and just plain quirky things that make us emotionally intelligent and well-rounded could not have been better portrayed. Being smart is building boats from boxes, painting pirates, wheeling wagons, being mermaids and riding dragons.A] parade of beauty that will give children of all backgrounds and interests confidence in their own uniqueness.
