Feast your ears upon Doreen Cronin's reading of her book Click Clack Moo. Also because of Betsy Lewin's illustrations, this book changed my life. #betsylewin #doreencronin @jackikellum #PB #amreading #amwriting

@Wenger13 @MindyAlyseWeiss Love Walrus and I also love the Owl and the Pussycat, which was later turned into several beautifully illustrated books. All of my moon illustrations stem from the Owl and Pussycat and The Cow Jumped Over the Moon. #moon #edwardlear @jackikellum #PB #illustrationart #amwriting
@Michelle4Laughs My main character is a pelican. 5 years ago, I drew Perky and wrote 4 lines about him. My surprise is that 5 years later, I turned him into a full-length picture book. I've tried that before, but it never worked. Thank goodness for challenges like #PBParty #PB @jackikellum

Beatrix Potter surprise: She self-published her little book in 1901. The first 250 black-and-white copies sold out, so Beatrix printed another 200. A year later the book was published nationally by Frederick Warne & Co. https://t.co/UyZdXRlWKL

Picture Books for Babies should have pictures of babies: Nodelman’s theory is that baby books encourage babies to develop a form of self-awareness that moves beyond the self-unconscious state of the early months. Through baby books, babies begin to see themselves"

@JustinRColon @ShiraZwiren I don't believe that I have the answer to that question. I've never reached that goal.
