Myers Outstanding Book Awards - Honorable Mention, Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Bigotry and Human Rights in North America

Musician Tito Puente. Ballerina Maria Tallchief. Explorer Matthew Henson. Congresswoman Patsy Mink. These are some of the people profiled in this book. They are well known for different reasons, but they also have something in common. They were all smart!

Readers will learn that being smart is about more than doing well in school. There are eight ways to be smart, and they are reflected in how a person uses his or her body, relates to the natural world, responds to music and art, and more. When readers see how the people in this book used their smarts, they will learn about themselves too, and their own unique ways of being smart. Back-of-book information about the eight intelligences, along with activities, enhance the learning experience.

Lively storytelling and striking illustrations introduce readers to the empowering theory of multiple intelligences - and the adventure of discovering how they are smart!
