With Pernille Ripp
Join us for a conversation and Q&A with Pernille Ripp, a Danish educator, teacher and author living in the US.
- How are picture books relevant beyond the age when a child can independently read? (NYT article: Our Kids Aren't Too Old for Picture Books, and Neither are You).
- What does the rising popularity of images, a la Instagram, mean for the future of picture books?
- In the spirit of starting over, what changes can we make as we recognize the power of picture books?
