The Big Picture: Putting Picture Books in the Public Eye
The Big Picture is a national campaign to promote picture books. We are working to expand the market for, increase the supply of and enhance the status of picture books in the UK.
In 2008 the campaign will support all those working with picture books, from art schools to teachers, from librarians to Literature festivals, from booksellers to nurseries. Look out for the Rough Guide to Picture Books being distributed in Waterstones from the end of March 2008.
The campaign is backed by all major children's publishers and by ever-increasing numbers of writers and illustrators, including Shirley Hughes, Anthony Browne, Michael Foreman and Ken Wilson Max. Children's Laureate Michael Rosen is championing the campaign.
