All of those roles I take on with a truckload of passion. It is hard to separate them; matter of fact, it is impossible. And so, when I hold a picture book I see more than the story. I see the shape, the size, the weight, the texture, the fonts, the whiteness of the page, the words, the meaning behind the words, the sentences, the adjectives, the tone, the pictures, the colours, the medium, the technique, the placement of the picture on the page, the writer, the illustrator, the publisher and the reader and so on. <br /><br />One night, after a class on children’s literature, I was driving home. It was dark and so was my mood. I had just spent the last two hours discussing children’s picture books, my most favourite topic. So why was I so darn glum?<br /><br />My classmates are all teachers and their response to these books astounded me. How can a teacher pick up a picture book and say, “...from here I can take my students....”? It brought tears to my eyes. I wanted to scream STOP, please stop! Even just for a second. There are many stories here, not just the one that so eloquently tells itself in the words that are printed on the page. Please stay and look around. Don’t rush to the destination and miss the voyage. Never once did they talk of the pictures, never once did they consider the design, never once did they move from the story told in the words. <br /><br />The more I spend time and take classes next to teachers I realize that they are avoiding the visual. This is not because they don’t see it (in some instances this may be so) but it is more that they don’t know how to talk about it. They are lost when approaching the images and even more lost when asked to consider the design. What I take as natural, they don’t see. It is nice to see you posting information on the visual aspects of picture books I thank you for that. <br /><br />I am considering working on a project for teachers to help in this area. It is in the concept stages only, percolating as I like to say. I have your blog on my morning list to visit so will be checking it out regularly. Looking forward to your next post.Kathy (HildaRose) Kaulbachhttp://www.hildarose.comnoreply@blogger.com
