Picture Books live on!

 
A few weeks ago, The New York Times printed a front-page article stating that picture books were on their way out for good. There were lots of irritated authors, publishers, agents, librarians, teachers, parents, etc. who disagreed with much of the content. Apparently, some of those quoted in the article felt their comments were taken out of context. So, I really appreciated this nice article from Publishers Weekly with a response. Bottom line: just because The New York Times says it's so doesn't mean it is.

  1. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on Apple's use of color interactive books on the iPad and other iDevices. It has, I think, great potential for opening a new market for children's authors. Plus, it may give you an excuse to get an iPad. Research, you know...
