“Why We’re Still in Love with Picture Books (Even Though They’re Supposed to Be Dead)”

This title is of a recent article in the May/June 2011 Horn Book Magazine. The article is written by publisher Allyn Johnston and author/illustrator Marla Frazee. (Marla is one of my favorites, including her magical illustrations for All the World). I encourage parents, classroom teachers, and dance teaching artists to take 5 minutes to read this article. In the age of digital, animation, and tons of "screen time," there is still so much value and richness in reading aloud beautiful picture books.
