November is not only time for Picture Book Idea Month (PiBoIdMo), it's also International Picture Book Month when we celebrate picture books as an educational tool and art form. This year, 30 picture book "champions" will present daily essays on "why picture books are important." Check out the schedule and spread the word!

The bigger this event gets, the better for all picture book writers!

November is so soon! Between PiBoIdMo and Picture Book Month, our brains may explode into a billion tiny picture book pieces.

Thanks for the reminder, Tara. I'll be coming up with more ideas this year. There ought to be a February Picture Book Writing-Out-The-Stories-From-Those-November-Ideas Month. I still have some brilliant story ideas from last November. Ha.
