Lists like the NCSS Notables and other annual ones (Jane Addams Children's Book Awards, for one) offer not only the current honored titles but also archive lists from past years. There are never enough hours in my life to feature all of the wonderful picture books in our world, so I rely on referring to such reliably excellent sources. I do my best to steer people toward what are, IMO, some of the best. Your note inspires me to continue. Thanks so much for taking time to comment, and all best to you and your students!Sandy Brehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073122273951186418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350594420301392266.post-17268170956477571972017-07-02T08:58:06.932-05:002017-07-02T08:58:06.932-05:00I'm teaching Picture Book writing at Hollins U...I'm teaching Picture Book writing at Hollins University's MFA in writing and illustrating this summer and your blog is a mainstay for current, gracefully presented information about what is new and, better yet GOOD. I've seen Miss Mary Reporting and can confirm that it is an excellent bio PB. Now I'm in search of the others on this list!
