Why Picture Books Are Important by Alma Flor Ada
By combining the magic of story with a visual aesthetic experience, picture books offer children a most fulfilling opportunity for enjoyment. Picture books are one of the best gifts authors and artists have ever conceived for children and we must be grateful to the publishers willing to grant them the quality printing they deserve.
Picture books can be enjoyed by children of all ages. The very young can be attracted by the images and discover the promise of reading by attempting to decode their message. Older children can discover how the images compliment or augment the information of the text and begin to become familiar with different art styles.
Picture books offer parents the possibility of sharing moments of joy with their children, moments that contribute to indelible memories and powerful bonding.
