November is Picture Book month!

Most people are familiar with picture books that are aimed at our youngest readers where the artwork is very much a part of the storytelling.  These books use basic language to help children develop early reading skills. The pictures provide the action and visual cues that move the story forward.  The illustrators creatively use various art mediums to bring life to the words on the page.


This method of storytelling is, also, effectively used in children's biographies.  Many authors and illustrators have written exciting, beautiful stories of famous people.  These picture book biographies are suited for elementary school children who have a writing assignment or just want to learn about someone.  The pictures artfully depict the adventures and heroism of some of our most influential people.


School-aged children should try these books to spark their curiosity or for the next time they have a report due.
