Last year's #PictureBookSummit was AMAZING One helpful session was about cutting the words in your manuscript by 10% by @emmawaltonhamilton.bsky.social Walton Hamilton. I also LOVED @vashtiharrison.bsky.social 's presentation. Check it out here: picturebooksummit.com @picturebooksummit.bsky.social
For kids and adults - this is an AMAZING book! It's a nonfiction picture book that tells how the oceans developed from when the earth was a hot ball of rock until today. It is done in rhyme and the illustrations are stunning. I learned so much! I had never heard of the creature on the front
