Photo-illustrated Picture Books

by | Sep 21, 2022 | Children, Matchmakers, Picture Books

On Monday, November 7th, 2022, a momentous event is occurring: the first ever gathering of the Noble Picture Book Appreciation Society! In the evening, the Society will be offering a ‘tasting’ of the choicest picture books. Esteemed guests to the Noble children’s room will be seated at our finest tables and offered menus from which to order several courses of stories, and will have the opportunity to share their tasting notes.  

Each section of the menu for the evening is being developed by Society members; my selection will be of deliciously photo-illustrated picture books. Since I have collected too many to fit on the menu, I would love to share the full list with you here. If you enjoy this eye-catching appetizer, please register and join us for the Tasting
