On children's books


I’ve always associated language with pictures. That’s part of the reason why I’ve always loved the stories I read in elementary school. Well, also because children’s books remind me of the power of concise writing. One that I fondly remember is the book The Relatives Came. I liked the storyline but I enjoyed more the depth that the pictures brought to Cynthia Rylant’s words. The beautiful illustrations drew me into another world and it is a good example of how visuals are an important facet for my literacy.
