My Project

I love picture books! I am constantly drawn to them, sometimes because of the subject matter, many times because of the art style, and always because I fall in love with the main character. My love of picture books has persisted into adulthood, and I want to share this love with my students. They may be in 5th grade, but that doesn't stop me from reading picture books to them whenever I get the chance.

Picture books do a fabulous job of taking complex topics and simplifying them in a way so that all children can understand them, regardless of age.

Whether they tackle grief, anxiety, LGBTQ+ themes, or friendship problems, picture books make these topics accessible to my students, which often lead to deep discussions once we are finished. These discussions also cover the theme of the book (we have a theme wall where all books we read in class go), and the various character traits exhibited by the characters in the books.

Thank you for considering to donate to this project!
