Picture books are imagination factories. And with imagination, anything is possible. Right now, picture books need us. And we need picture books. All it takes is a library card...
Welcome, Readers!
The contest Save the Picture Book has ended. Telling people about funny, informative, beautiful, or generally awesome picture books continues. I also share middle grade books, book apps, and educational apps that my kids and I like.

A Tall Picture Book Prize
This tall tale is our latest Save Everything! (and the Picture Book) prize. It was beautifully illustrated Laura Huliska-Beith, who also donated it. I heard Laura speak at the Kansas City Plaza Library, and she told how she would add to the collage illustrations, scan them, and then add more. You will be amazed at the details in this book--she even used peanut brittle!
The author is Kimberly Willis Holt whose also written several award-winning YA novels.
We now have more than 20 books ready to give away to classrooms and kids who read picture books and write reviews!
Check the post: "Save Everything! (and the Picture Book)...January edition" for information on how to participate.
