What’s the Whole Book Approach all about? Join us on Zoom on Thursday, February 10 at 3:30pm to learn with Courtney Waring, Director of Education at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art.

The Whole Book Approach helps readers to to look at books in their whole art form, including examining the jacket, endpapers, and front matter. By asking open-ended questions about the book and its visuals, we can create an interactive, rich learning experience.

Bring your favorite picture book to this Zoom, and be prepared to look at it with new eyes!
