The Power of the Picture Book: Josh Funk




Dear Readers,


Some picture books are powerful.










Some picture books are wild.










Some picture books are messy.










Some picture books are styled.










Some picture books are quiet....










Some picture books are LOUD!










Some picture books have elephants,











but in some they’re not allowed.













Some picture books are funny,













and some might make you cry.











Some are filled with facts and truth,









and some are one big lie.











Some picture books have lessons,










and some are just for fun.










Yes, picture books are powerful,











so won’t you read me one?











Your pal,
Josh Funk
