Seeing the Picture by Will Hillebrand
Here is a great introduction to really using the pictures to explore the story.
Children’s Book Week is not only a celebration of books, but of connection. It is a vehicle to unite kids and adults with books, authors, and illustrators in order to foster a love of reading.
Theme Coming Soon!
Children's Book Week is the annual celebration of books for young people and the joy of reading. Launched in 1919, Children's Book Week commemorated its 102nd anniversary in 2021. It is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country.

Make Your Home a Reading Place
Create a Reading Nook in Your Home
To create a quiet place for reading you won't need to buy anything. First you can look around for a few items like these: some pillows, a comforter, a few stuffed animals, and a basket or bin for some children's books. Find other items that you think would help to make it a special spot. You can create some fun artwork for the wall or hang up some peaceful posters or photos.
Decorate the reading area with book characters or other drawings.
Now it's time to collect some reading material.
You can fill your reading nook with a variety of reading material. Gather up some children's books and magazines. Homemade creative books and booklets from school are also great choices. You can add recipe books or grocery store flyers to the choices as well.
