In Search of Sasquatch by Kelly Milner Halls
Why Picture Books Are Important
Picture books have a special kind of magic in the hands of children. They open windows of opportunity — glimpses of new worlds — in the safest of places: in the library, in the classroom, or in their very own rooms. Kids can sound out one word at a time, breeze through full sentences or skip the words altogether to build stories of their own based on warm, vivid illustrations. Anything is possible on the pages of a picture book. May the magic continue — forever!
