November is Picture Book Month! Come Celebrate

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a children's picture book designed, illustrated and written Eric Carle, first published by the World Publishing Company in 1969, later published by Penguin Putnam.

Did you know that November is Picture Book Month?  Well, it is, and boy, has Candlewick Press embraced this idea.  Over at Candlewick Press they have initiated a yearlong campaign entitled We Believe in Picture Books.  Their website for this is Reading Starts Here.  For 365 days the site will celebrate a picture book a day.  On Saturday, November 10 at 1:00 PM they will also be featuring, "...a book symposium featuring three illustrators who have worked successfully both on screen and in books."  Check it out.  

As if this wasn't enough, in Candlewick's recent newsletter they mention another site entitled Picture Book Month Celebration, which has a wonderful series of posts on Why Picture Books are Important.  Check this out, as well.
