Generally speaking, picture books are vastly underrated.

When done well—and many are—picture books a vibrant, dynamic art form that combines storytelling, illustration, and design.

And they encourage slow reading and active engagement.

We need to heighten their prestige.

On this day, 96 yrs. ago, a wonderful person was born. It's such an honor to share his message of kindness in Mister Rogers' Gift of Music! To celebrate, I'm doing a PB critique #giveaway for 1 non-rhyme PB. Follow/RT & tag a friend to enter. Page Street Kids Amanda (Moeckel) Calatzis

Happy Birthday, Fred! Today, on what would have been your 96th birthday, we celebrate the profound impact you've had on countless lives. Thank you for making this world a better place. #FredRogers #Birthday
