November is Picture Book Month, a tribute to the enduring importance of the picture book form. Dianne de Las Casas (author & storyteller) and her team co-founded the month-long celebration to champion the power and beauty of picture books:
In this digital age where people are predicting the coming death of print books, picture books (the print kind) need love. And the world needs picture books. There’s nothing like the physical page turn of a beautifully crafted picture book.
This year’s Picture Book Month Champions included:
- Sudipta Bardan-Quallen
- Mike Curato
- Julie Gribble
- Kathryn Otoshi
- LeUyen Pham
- Matt Phelan
- Mo Willems
- Paula Yoo
Hope you enjoyed this year’s round up of beautiful new picture books.Thanks to some wonderful publishers once again: Penguin Australia, Allen & Unwin, Hachette, Walker Books, Hardie Grant, Harper Collins in particular. Coming right up a focus on Xmas, with some additional titles added to try to reduce the pile even further before the end of the year.
