November is Picture Book Month
Picture Book Month is an international literacy initiative that celebrates the print picture book during the month of November.
In this digital age where people are predicting the coming death of print books, picture books are growing in popularity and importance for their artwork, literary quality, and unique ability to bring children and parents/care-givers closer together as books and stories are shared.
If you’ve ever sat with a child on your lap, and shared a picture book, you know the magic that happens.
Tweet out some of your favourite picture books using the hashtag #picturebookmonth
Visit the Picture Book Month website, find posters, resources and more, read about “Why Pictures Books are Important”, a collection of essays written by children’s authors and picture book champions.
Visit your local public library and celebrate Picture Book Month with a great picture book to share!
