Takeover:
It's a kidlit takeover! Writer and librarian Lara Cain Gray joins legendary author/illustrator Jules Faber to chat in a very grown-up way about children's books. Lara's new release helps adults dive deeper into the mechanics of picture books, while Jules is about to let his 50th book loose on an unsuspecting public. You've been warned.
Book blurb:
The Grown-Up's Guide to Picture Books is an A to Z guide to what makes a great picture book great. It provides parents, carers, educators, or anyone with an interest, the tools they need to dig deeper into this magical story format. For those who connect with children, it supports shared reading skills, but ALL readers can benefit from picture books. Picture books teach us how to conjure big ideas in small word limits, how to read underlying meanings in visual information, and how to enjoy a little mindful me-time, if only for 15 minutes! And in any case, why should kids have all the fun?
