How We Are Smart

Review
By Horn Book Guide

Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences is the framework for this collective biography. Twelve people are profiled, ranging from the famous (painter Georgia O’Keeffe) to the less well-known (botanist Ynes Mexia), with a quotation, a poem, a summary of accomplishments, and a portrait in muted colors… the book’s focus on different ways of being smart may inspire kids.
