I adore picturebooks and totally believe that the best ones are a truly untapped resource in our schools and that they are works of true literary merit. Absolutely agree with #MacBarnett. (He is really is one of the great picturebook creators)

Are picture books undervalued? This new ambassador of children's literature thinks so
The Library of Congress has given Mac Barnett the job of promoting books and reading to kids across the country. His plan is to focus on picture books.

Day 19 of the #NewIllustrationOfTheDay advent calendar. Craig Smith, Australia’s answer to Michael Foreman, uses watercolours and skilled draughtsmanship to illustrate John Schumann’s 1983 song about the Vietnam War. The picture book, for 8+, was published by Allen & Unwin in paperback in 2014.

Day 10 of the #NewIllustrationOfTheDay advent calendar, recommending books with the date in the title. Ruth Brown is less celebrated than she deserves to be, as seen in this lovely, hand-made, nursery picturebook about counting, subtracting, animals and the lifecycle of plants. Andersen Press 2001.
