This is fantastic. I love how you do these videos. So many beautiful books and some adorable dresses too. I also love that you include your boys. And Tedwell has so many talents. Those oil paintings are gorgeous!! 😊💙
You look so comfy cozy today. I can’t wait to get grandchildren so I can buy books for them by the dozen each month like my mom did for my 3 children. The twins first and then my daughter.
Thank you, Ronda! I completely forgot if I passed on Sonja's information or not (Sonja made the tote). Oh! Giving my parents grandchildren has been a wonderful blessing! :)
Excellent video Shelly! Another picture book award you may want to checkout is the Irma Black Award, which is presented by Bank St. College of Education. It’s actually the only one voted on by kids and is for both the writing and illustrations as a whole and very much about enjoyment and readability in pictures and words that is embraced by children. It makes it great for interaction with child readers.
I’m always looking out for great picture books, just the imagination and in your mind going places. I often look for great movies too. As it can help the imagination.
You’re so good at explaining prizes. I find most people assume the viewer knows and maybe that’s why they’re there. But Fraser doesn’t know! Before Booktube all I knew was the Pulitzer and the Canadian ones. And the Pulitzer video actually explained a lot of things I didn’t know about that either. Such a great video and structure :)
Thanks! The structure comes from college classes. I really dislike pretending everyone is on the same page. All to write is that I find introducing a prize, idea, list is just as important as talking about the thing itself. Plus, it helps me stay focused which is tremendously difficult for me sometimes. ;)
Ok..now I wish I had kids to gift them these😂. No worries, I will gift it to nephews and nieces. Your boys are so super cute ❤️. I have always believed that picture books and comics are a great way to get children involved in reading. In India, we used to have weekly magazines which used to have comic strips and stories and God knows how many children of my generation were attracted to the world of reading due to them. I want to do a small video about that someday. Great video, Shelly..
While I love, love, love this video - my picture book appreciation will likely result in us having to save to buy the house next door as a library - I couldn’t stop thinking how much you look and speak like Mandy Moore x
Wonderful vedio..... added a few in the list of books to get my kid... how old are your kids when u do this activity? Just saw you missed adding Wonder walkers under honour in the description
I just added Mel Fell to my list to buy for when the grandbabies are here!!! I have Sophie’s new book (Farmhouse) on preorder because I just know I am going to love it! I got to read to my nieces and nephews while on our move and I have missed reading aloud with wee ones! Thanks for all the research and letting us join in the fun finds!
Deea, you will love Mel Fell! It's so cute and charming. Oh! I'll keep my eyes peeled for Blackall's new book! She's just wonderful! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Watercress and Undefeated also won Newbery honors. I like that Newbery looks at picture books too for the stories they tell. Which were your children's favorites other than Mell Fell?
Katie, I'll definitely look into the Newbery picture book awards. I'm interested in both illustrations and stories. My kiddos really like Bear Came Along, Wonder Walkers, and The Rough Patch.
@@Shellyish Yes! Some early honors were A Million Cats and ABC Bunny both by Wanda Gag, and Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Pena won a few years ago.

Awe! Thank you, Jolene! Picture books give me such joy and I want to share that with others! :)

Thank you, Michael! I'll definitely check out the Irma Black Award. I love the concept behind the award!
I love beautifully illustrated picture books. I get frustrated when my kids want to read ugly one 🤣
Hahaha! Same! 😂

Who is Brian Lies as far as why he didn’t win? I guess I am unfamiliar with him.
I cannot remember.

I like the graffiti style of _Double Bass Blues._ I think my favorite styles from this selection are _The Rough Patch_ and _Hello Lighthouse._
My older son, Graham, liked Double Bass Blues, but my favorite was Hello Lighthouse. I adore Blackalls illustration style.
Wow there were some gorgeous illustrations in so many of those books
Thank you, Sonja!! :)
I've been really wanting to read that Tulsa book!
It's a good one!
Some beautiful books!! Perfect video for your picture this readathon! 😍
Thanks, Sandy! I'm glad I was able to end the month with this video! :)
Love this! Put so many of these on hold at the library. Thanks for sharing!
Gloria, thank you! I'd be curious as to how you like these!

Awe! Thank you! I'm very interested in these magazines and comic strips you mentioned. I'd love to see something like that! :)
So many beautiful books! I don’t have many occasions of reading picture books, but you make them sound so great. 📚
Thank you, Elisabeth!

My kiddos are 4 and 6 though I think 8 would be the perfect age! Thank you!

Wow, so many stunning books!! I love the picture book content matey 😍
Thank you, Gemma!
As a picture book obsessed person I love this channel, which I only discovered today. I'm familiar with most of those books, but not all.
I’m so glad you are here! Picture book enthusiasts unite! ☺️
I didn't really care for any of the 2021. I also thought Mel Fell was better than watercress.
I agree about Mel Fell. It was so stinking charming.

What a fun video! It makes me want to read to little ones again!
Thank you, Deb!!
I just adore all of your children’s book reviews, you are such a delight thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you!!
Way too woke for my family. Far better to stay with pre 2000 Winners.
Fair enough!
Thank you, I love your videos a lot, one can feel your passion for picture books❤🪷💕
Oh, thank you!!
