School can be hard, fun and strange sometimes all at once. It s full of your best friends, teachers and lots of kids you ve never met, and every day reveals more stories and challenges...
Everyone's The Smartest is a collection that lets children see their own experiences reflected back at them, and tells strange new stories in familiar settings. Contra s poems confront the school day with the matter-of-fact tone of children who know that the world is full of magic.
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.
Everyone s The Smartest contains 60 poems on all aspects of school life, with playful illustrations on every page. The whole world of Everyone s The Smartest is teeming with treasure - like a treasury of new Michael Rosen poems illustrated by Judith Kerr.

About the Author
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 television, 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.
Ulla Saar (1975) is an illustrator, product designer, graphic artist, and interior designer. She graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts in product design, and currently works as a designer.
Her first illustrated book, Lift, immediately received widespread recognition, and was listed in the 2014 White Ravens catalogue by the International Youth Library. Since then, Ulla has illustrated nearly 20 books, every one of which has gained international attention.
Ulla practices a contemporary, design-like approach to book illustration: her spirited and playful art is often more a part of the book’s overall design than free-standing pictures.
Charlotte Geater is a poet and editor based in London, UK. She has a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Kent. She edits poetry and fiction for the Emma Press. Her own writing has been published by Queen Mob’s Teahouse, Galley Beggar, Strange Horizons and The Best British Poetry 2013.
Kätlin Kaldmaa is an Estonian poet, writer, translator and literary critic. She has published four collections of poetry (Larii-laree, One is None, Worlds, Unseen and The Alphabet of Love), two children’s books, a novel (No Butterflies in Iceland), and a short story collection (The little sharp knife).
Her poetry has been translated into more than 20 languages and her collections have been published in English, Finnish and Spanish. She has written extensively on literature and translated more than 80 works of world’s best literature. In 2012 she won the annual Friedebert Tuglas short story award.
Kätlin Kaldmaa is the International Secretary of PEN International. She is currently working on her fifth collection of poetry and on her second novel.
Richard O’Brien is a poet, translator and academic based in Birmingham, UK.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
