About The Picture Book Project

Theory of Action

We should deeply know the texts we share.
Teachers share Picture Books with children.
Caregivers share Picture Books with children.
Teachers and Caregivers have expressed a need for places to explore Picture Books.
Teachers and Caregivers are adults first.

Therefore, spaces are needed where adults can discover, read and talk about Picture Books amongst ourselves.

We have so much to (dis) (un) (re) cover.

The Picture Book Project exists to get us started.

The Picture Book Project is an ongoing project created based on needs identified through participatory action research with educators, librarians and community members conducted by Dr. Sarah CB Norsworthy The Picture Book Project is a community resource and hub to celebrate and activate the power of Picture Books, particularly amongst adults.
