Smick

Illustrated by Juana Medina
Smick is a BIG dog.

Sit, Smick.

Chick is a little chick.

Stay, Smick!

So what happens when they see a stick?


Written by New York Times bestselling author Doreen Cronin and ingeniously illustrated by newcomer Juana Medina, Smick is a story of unlikely friendship, a sense of adventure, and a lot of wonderful wordplay.

Juana Medina ate a LOT of pasta while making this book! She grew up in Colombia and now lives and works in Washington, D.C. She is the illustrator of Smick! by Doreen Cronin, and is the author/illustrator of Juana and Lucas and 1 Big Salad: A Delicious Counting Book. Please visit her and her work at juanamedina.com.
