I’ve been involved this month in ReFoReMo: Reading for Research Month. The goal is to look at mentor texts and read 150 picture books in March. It’s a great program. I’m in resource overload!
I wanted to list a few of my all time favorite picture books! I encourage anyone who is interested in writing for children to read as much as you can, research, gather resources and keep learning!! I know you’ll love these cute books!
