Open 2 Books: Turn Those Pages

I was at my local library looking for Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree for a presentation I have to give next week, when I stumbled upon Lane Smith's It's a Book . Finally, I thought, I get to see it! I remember there being a lot of hoopla about it when it first came out, but since I don't usually review the newest of children's books, I didn't seek it out.

Instead, it found me! And I'm so glad it did, because I really needed to hear that I wasn't the only one to treasure picture books-in-print. As much as I'm amazed by the nonfiction children's books that are coming out on the iPad, there's still nothing like the beauty and simplicity of turning the pages of a real picture book.

Thank you for your patience while I'm transitioning to a new site design and format. The process is taking longer than I expected. I really can't put a time frame on it at this point.

In the meantime, I'd like to expand upon the theme of embracing uniqueness, and the ability to see beyond the weaknesses we all have. It's a subject that's so important for people of all ages, but especially for children.
