Hello to you all!
I am pleased to be posting the replay of Picture Book Club last week. As I expected, it was a great book to dig into, and we all marvelled at the art and had a lively debate about the word/picture interaction. It’s such a clever, thought provoking book, I’m so glad we had a chance to discuss it at Picture Book Club this month.
So, without further ado - here is all the details and the replay below!
Until next time,

One of my favourite things about the MA was when we looked at picture books together and analysed them, so I am thrilled to run this on my Substack. I announce the book at the beginning of the month and then we have a live Zoom together and chat all about it! It is available as a replay afterwards for those who can't make it.
Book Choice:
Our Picture Book Club choice this month is the wonderful I Am the Subway by Kim Hyo-eun. I really think this is a special book, such beautiful and clever illustrations and a wonderful concept.
Get the books from friends of Gather, Filter, Make Helen Hancocks at her bookshop Shelf Editions or Katie Clapham at her bookshopStorytellers Inc.and help support Indies!

Picture Book Club is for paid subscribers. I really appreciate every subscription and see it as a little affirmation that I am on the right track. Read all about my history here. All subs help me to continue making illustrated books, and creating posts here on Substack. And as well as supporting me, you get benefits too. What?! Yes, you heard me! You get access to my big back catalogue of paid posts, and access to my monthly Zoom sessions: Art Club and Picture Book Club, and my brand new daily co-working sessions, Accountability Club. And if you can’t attend live, all sessions are recorded and posted afterwards.
