Picture Book Month
Fall is special in many ways including the celebration of Halloween and Thanksgiving, the changing of the seasons with the leaves beginning to fall, but also for another reason: November is picture book month. For writers, authors and illustrators of picture books this is a special celebration that recognizes the love we all have for picture books. For young children is their first introduction to literature, art and education. By expanding a child’s imagination and vocabulary, picture books pave the road to further learning processes for young children. They are important in so many ways.
There are several special month-long activities in November that I am taking part in for picture book month. One is PiBoIdMo, Picture Book Idea Month, where are participants create and idea a day or 30 new ideas for books during the month of November for new picture books. The other is SkADaMo, Sketch A Day Month, which is just as the word implies and is a sketch a day for a month. I will be posting my sketches here in my blog. Check them out and let me know what you think by leaving a comment.
