Other “Picture Book Read-Alouds That Spark Conversation: 15 Stories to Foster the Ability to Feel, Think, and Communicate” Now on Sale A storybook for read-aloud sessions will be released next week.
A representative from a publishing company approached us with the idea of “creating a book about reading picture books aloud,” so we got to work on developing the concept from the very beginning.
I believe picture books provide an opportunity for parents and children, or adults and children, to engage in conversation and to share feelings and thoughts together.
This book was put together with those sentiments in mind.
I’d like to do more work related to picture books, so I’m very happy to have been given this opportunity.
If you're interested, I'd be delighted if you'd pick up a copy.
