Thank you to everyone who contributed thoughts and comments to our discussion of publishing for children and teens in a post-9/11 world.
Today we turn to our attention to the subject for the second half of September: Picture Books for Middle and High-School Age.
We first discussed picture books for older children and teens in November, 1997. Now, nine years later, we want to reexamine the subject.
** In addition to picture books with subjects or presentations that are appealing to, or aimed at, middle and high school-age readers, we invite you to talk about picture books that you?ve used to introduce or enhance the study of specific topics or subjects in the middle and high school curriculum.
When I think about picture books for middle and high school-age readers, my mind automatically jumps to several books by Walter Dean Myers: Patrol, with illustrations by Ann Grifalconi; and Harlem, and Blues Journey, both illustrated by Christopher Myers. All three books are dynamic visually as well as textually.
