Will you read me a bedtime story?
The future of children’s book publishing
I didn’t plan to lead off World Storytelling day with this particular piece but I suppose it’s very apropos. It’s not a gloom and doom piece and it does highlight some thoughts from Jeff Kinney of Diary of a Wimpy Kid fame. Be sure to follow that link. It’s a great story.
In “the future piece…” he says,”I think we focus more on storytelling. There are a lot of adults I encounter who exclusively read children’s literature.” Is that because they’re tired of the stories in “adult literature”? Decide for yourself as you read the article and remember to tell a story to a child on World Storytelling Day. Read one to them too if you can.
