Discussion and images relating to picture books and children's literature. For writers, teachers, parents, librarians, and people who just love reading picture books.

Under new management by somebody who didn't ask for the subreddit but is taking a leadership role.

Rules:

Rule 1: Be nice.
Rule 2: No spam. There's no reason you can't use your own two human hands to write about your book publication once and only once.
Rule 3: Post things related to real picture books only. That MS Paint Percosets fake book joke was funny for only one day.
Rule 4: Don't be afraid to post your favourite picture book, even if it's very heavy and not 100% aimed at very young people. The Rabbits is a good example of this.
Rule 5: You can self-promote a picture book you've made, but only if it's real, bound, and not a joke. Do not make your titles or post content spammy when you do this. Rule #2 can outrun this rule, for naturally apparent reasons.
Rule 6: Don't make fun of people who are following the rules.
Rule 7: Don't be overly vulgar or gross, but you can swear and include adult themes tactfully.
Rule 8: Some picture books are nuanced, advanced, and complicated. Even those that are aimed at kids. Try to make sure you understand what message they really send before judging a picture book.
