“Fall” in Love with Reading Through Picture Books

Picture books are often viewed as basic literature and only for the kids; however, upon closer examination, one can find beautiful works of art that could rival the expense and effort of visiting an art museum. The prose is full of wit and wisdom that could last through the ages. Two new picture books recently garnered my attention in such a way. One has such unique artwork, “If You Find a Leaf” by Aimee Sicuro, and the other, “The Boy Who Loved Maps” by Kari Allen, has endearing prose. Both have boosted my imagination and made me want to do more outside this autumn season.
