Picture books are not just for young children—they hold profound value for readers of all ages. Explore how picture books, including wordless stories and other visual narratives, serve as powerful windows, mirrors, and doors, as described by Rudine Sims Bishop. This session will examine how these books build visual literacy, foster international mindedness, and spark meaningful discussions across a wide range of audiences. Participants will discover how picture books transcend age and language barriers, promote empathy, and connect readers to diverse perspectives, making them essential tools for lifelong learning and engagement.
