Hi everyone!
Welcome to the 6th Children’s Book Study. If you’re new and are looking for any past studies, you can find them here.
I’m excited about today’s book, because it connects to the Children’s Literature class I took when I was in school. One of the first assignments was to write about a children’s book of our choice. I was captivated by a book titled Journey. It was a wordless picture book, which was something new to me at the time. Since I was studying how to teach reading to kids, I knew this type of book could be such a powerful tool for readers who needed a little boost. I wrote my book study, and I went on to use the book in my student teaching. I adored that book. The illustrations were magical and sparked intrigue in students.
So when I saw that Aaron Becker published a brand new wordless book this year, I was so excited to flip through it. So let’s check it out together…
