It’s the third year for the Picture Book Idea Month, but I’m just finding out about it now, thanks to Shelftalker.
It’s kind of a sister to the big NaNoWriMo, except in PiBoIdMo, participants are challenged to come up with 30 new ideas for picture books in 30 days.
I am always struggling to find good “big books” to use in baby storytime, and have enjoyed the couple of times I have gone ahead and made my own.
30 ideas is a pretty steep challenge! But I think I’m going to get out my storytime files next month anyway, and see if I can’t come up with at least a few new ideas for homemade big books. We’ll see what happens!
Your big books are fantastic! So great to customize the books to the storytime and to fit a specific need.
We’ll see what ideas I can come up with for new books! And then, of course, we’ll see if I can find the time to actually MAKE them! Thanks Tracey!
So glad you found PiBoIdMo via ShelfTalker! Please also join the Facebook discussion group if you haven’t already! See you there! http://www.facebook.com/groups/265963663444660/
Thanks Tara! We’ll see what I can come up with!
I was out of the loop too! But thanks to you I’m joining in the fun (or fury, I guess we’ll see won’t we?)
Go Cate GO!
