More About the Book: With relatable scenarios of an exhausted, working mom and a playful child, Smithy and Me captures the joy and messiness of their adventures and bond that ties them all together. From the winner of Clavis' 2022 US Key Colors Competition, Darcy Day Zoells, Smithy and Me features emotion-provoking illustrations that beautifully complement the story. A book full of imagination and fun, but also full of mess and mischief.
