Allyn Johnston on Why We're Still in Love with Picture Books

Allyn Johnston and Marla Frazee from The Horn Book:

We’re clearly not alone in believing that sharing traditional picture books with children is one of the best ways to grow them up. If a child’s life is filled with picture books, read aloud from birth, he or she will be better able to process the complexities in the world, read with deep understanding, and emotionally connect with themselves and with others. And the adults in their lives will grow right along with them.
