‘All The Ways to be Smart is the most beautiful, brilliant new picture book. Full stop.’
—Courtney Adamo, Babyccino

‘Allison Colpoys’ illustrations shimmer with vibrancy; her loose-line illustrations and selective colour palette exuding a nostalgic charm. Children will want to pore over each page, while the seamless read-out-loud rhyming pattern will ensure this is a favourite for years to come.’
—Penny Harrison, Kids’ Book Review

‘I’m thrilled to discover a book that reassures (kids) that there are a lot of ways to excel and that we each have our own unique gifts’.
—Rosemary, Library Mom Books

‘Every page of this book is joyous, imaginative and life-affirming.’
—Bronte Coates, Readings
