Welcome What's New

 

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Charles R. Smith, Jr. and I take pictures and write children’s books for a living. Some of you may have heard of my books about basketball and some of you may have never heard of me at all. It doesn’t matter because there’s something here for everybody. I am constantly updating the site, so if you’ve been here before check out the What's New links on the right.

I have tried to make my site as fun and informative as possible so hunt around! Want to play a game? Click on the basketbell at the top of the page and see if you can get it in the basket!

As more of my books come out and more projects come along I will be adding more to the site for you to see. Now that you’ve been here once, I want to be sure that you come back! Enjoy!
