The Grown-Up’s Guide To Picture Books

September 2024!

A picture’s worth a thousand words, but a great picture book? Priceless!

The Grown-Up’s Guide To Picture Books explores the complexities of modern picture books, from why our favourites tend to linger so long in our memories, to how we can maximise the deep reading opportunities they provide once we’ve learned to ‘read between the lines’.

For parents, carers, teachers, librarians, aspiring writers and any grown-up who simply loves picture books. This is your deep dive celebration of what makes a great picture book great.

Illustrated by Lorena Carrington and Timothy Ide, published by MidnightSun Publishing.

Library For All curates and creates culturally relevant books and learning resources so children can build the foundations of learning anytime, anywhere – even in times of crisis.

Most Library For All books are written by community members in relevant reader environments, but the Library is supplemented by additional content when specific types of books are required. I am proud to have written over 20 books for these multilingual, age appropriate resource collections.
