Parts of a Picture Book

Experience the heart of the Whole Book Approach with our interactive Storytime sessions! Created by Megan Dowd Lambert, this model invites children to react to the entire book as a visual art form, providing a natural and enriching experience. Led by an early childhood educator, our sessions facilitate a unique shared reading experience where children explore the design and production elements of picture books at their own pace and with their perceptions. Join us for a captivating journey into the world of storytelling! This is a drop-off class.
