THE SMART COOKIE by Jory John & Pete Oswald
PAPERBACK
Author: Jory John
Illustrator: Pete Oswald
You don’t have to be perfect to be a smart cookie! From Jory John and Pete Oswald, the creators of the bestselling Food Group series (including, The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, The Cool Bean, The Couch Potato), comes a funny and heartwarming story about confidence, creativity, and redefining what it means to be “smart.”
Meet Cookie, who’s convinced she’ll never be as clever as the other treats in the bakery - especially compared to those brainy cupcakes and brilliant rolls. No matter how hard she tries, she just can’t seem to get it right. But when Cookie discovers that intelligence isn’t about perfect scores or having all the answers, she learns the sweetest lesson of all: being smart comes in many flavours.
With witty wordplay and bright, expressive illustrations, THE SMART COOKIE is a joyful reminder for readers young and old that everyone has their own kind of genius - sometimes it just takes a sprinkle of self-belief to see it. Perfect for ages 4–8, classrooms, and fans of funny, feel-good stories that inspire confidence and kindness.
