Picture Book Wisdom
It’s Family Literacy Day today, and I’ve written a post at 49thShelf about how everything I know about the world I’ve learned from picture books. Including, “Dance in the kitchen. Don’t do the dishes” and “Far more than any fame, enjoy the peaceful pursuit of knowledge. Treasure the wealth to be found in your books.”
You can read all the words of wisdom here, and make sure you pick up these great titles if you haven’t already.
As a former Children’s Librarian,am a huge fan of Children’s picture books.You’re never too old to read one. Whenever I purchase one, clerks always ask if it’s for a certain young relative. I reply, “No, it’s for myself!”.
Yes! They’re for everyone. And sometimes the seventieth read reveals something you never noticed before…
