The Smart Cookie, a gem from the Food Group series by Jory John and Pete Oswald, serves up a delicious blend of life lessons and belly laughs.

Imagine a cookie in a world full of smarty-pants cupcakes and super-talented donuts. Sounds relatable, right? Our cookie friend takes us on a journey sprinkled with creativity and a dash of confidence. And guess what? It's not all about acing tests or having all the answers. The book's mantra? "You don’t have to have the answers to every question or suddenly be great at everything, all at once. You just need a chance to try all kinds of things, to find out who you are and what you like to do."

Jory John and Pete Oswald team up to cook up not only side-splitting humor but also life's little truths. They serve up lessons about teamwork, courage, and embracing differences while tackling challenges head-on.

Speaking of challenges, Pete Oswald's illustrations are like a visual feast. The colors pop and bring the story to life, making you feel like you're right there with our smart cookie and her pals.

What makes The Smart Cookie stand out is that it's as satisfying as your favorite midnight snack. Whether you're knee-high or a full-grown adult, this book is a high-five to being yourself. So grab a copy, find your cozy corner, and savor every page—it's a literary treat that'll leave you craving more!

”ليس عليك أن تمتلك اجابة لكل سؤال، ولا أن تصبح جيدًا في كل شيء في غمضة عين. أنت فقط بحاجة لتجربة العديد من الأمور، لتجد نفسك وماتحب في أحدها.“
عن اكتشاف الذات واكتساب الثقة في النفس، وعن محاسن التعليم الإبداعي والمعلم الشغوف. ظريفة وبعبر نافعة.

Such a great message that we all are “smart” in our unique ways! However, there is wayyyyy too much text to read. Little kids go to sleep. They are bored of the drawn out story. Like, yes, we get he’s sad. Now move on to the rest of the story.
