Can we still learn from older books? #picturebook "Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch" ❤️ by Eileen Spinelli & Paul Yalowitz has a lot of words, but how do you feel about: Word Count 🆚 Making the Words Count #pbbreakdowns of @SCBWI_SoBreeze wants to know! https://t.co/tRlsgkqrLp

The majority of PB structures are based around the hero's journey, just like Kelly DiPucchio & LeUyen Pham's "Grace for President." 🇺🇲. How much of this structure do you cram into your PBs? Join us with @SCBWI_SoBreeze for our next #pbbreakdown! 📚 https://t.co/IHtMx1c1fx

Maybe you like #picturebooks told in 2nd person? Maybe you enjoy inspirational stories about who we can become? Maybe you should read "MAYBE" 🤔 by Kobi Yamada? Maybe you can let #pbbreakdowns and @SCBWI_SoBreeze know if MAYBE captures your heart or not? https://t.co/ksXnDXx6IK

📝 We found so many layers in "Knight Owl" by Christopher Denise at our last #PBBreakdowns with @SCBWI_SoBreeze 🦉. Heavy in the telling and has it's didact spread, but the way the story is told in both plot and picture captured our ❤️s. What about yours? https://t.co/9wh2X54pAD

Submitting #picturebooks to agents/editors/contests? It can be tricky determining how much detail/art notes to include. You can be "wrong" both ways. Look at Doug Salati's "Hot Dog" from our last #pbbreakdowns with @SCBWI_SoBreeze. What are your thoughts? https://t.co/UgBdA884sx
