My tbr for the #picturethis2023 readathon! Picture This is a celebration of picture books where we encourage adults to read and discover the joy of picture books throughout the month of April. My wonderful Co-host is the marvellous @Shellyish .

Picture This 2023 Announcement: Booktube’s Picture Book Readathon returns for a second year!
youtu.be/F1tlpT_IMfQ

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
Shelly

Shelly’s prompts:
Silly
Funny
Pink

Jack’s Prompts:
Hope
Yellow
Movement

Extra challenge: illustrator spotlight. Both of the hosts love to explore an illustrator’s work 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:
