Everyone's the Smartest

School can be hard, fun and strange - sometimes all at once. It's full of your best friends and all the teachers as well as lots of kids you haven't met. Every day reveals more stories and challenges...

Everyone's the Smartest is a collection of poems which tell strange new stories in familiar settings. From clever ducks who fly far away while children are stuck in school, to bathroom taps that are just one mistake away from turning the school into a great lake, this collection reminds its readers that there is wonder everywhere.

Packed with extra features, including interviews with the author and illustrator, notes from the translators, fun facts about Estonia, and ideas to help you write your own poems.

Info autore

Contra (born Margus Konnula in 1974) is one of Estonia's most prolific contemporary poets. Since his debut in 1995, he has published at least one poetry collection each year. Contra's writing is strongly rooted in Estonia's contemporary folk-singing tradition, with gleeful and witty texts that blend dense, playful rhymes with topical issues. Contra's poetry stands out for the frequent use of his native Võru dialect, and he is a popular guest on tele vision, at public events, and in schools. Contra is a laureate of the Oskar Luts Prize for Humor and the Bernard Kangro Award for Literature; in 2015 he was awarded the Estonian Cultural Endowment's Award for Children and Youth Literature.
