Picture This Readathon dates: April 1-30
#picturethis2024
Booktube’s picture book readathon which aims to promote adults reading and enjoying picture books returns for a third year!
Purpose:
To celebrate picture books: they are for everyone!
To enjoy the simple pleasures and appreciate the artistry of picture books.
To explore something new or gain a fresh perspective on something familiar.
What are picture books? Books where illustrations are an integral part of the story. We’re not talking about the comic book format, so graphic novels or comics do not count for this readathon.
Hosts:
Jack at @spreadbookjoy
Shelly at Shelly Swearingen
Shelly’s prompts:
Joy
Night
Peach
Jack’s Prompts:
Nature
Blue
Change
Extra challenge: illustrator deep dive. Both of the hosts love to explore illustrators in-depth and gain so much from doing this, going down delightful rabbit holes of discovery, so we invite you to do the same if you can.
