@ Busboys and Poets Brookland: Juana Medina - Smick
Local illustrator Juana Medina brings the titular happy-go-lucky dog of this picture book to life. All Smick really wants is a stick. Told through simple rhyming phrases, with a helping of repetition, this infectiously happy tale follows him on his sunny afternoon in the park. Medina’s exuberant and bold multi-media illustrations will have young readers turning to Smick’s story again and again. Ages 4-7
