Congratulations to fabulous, local, award-winning author Mac Barnett, the new National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature! HIs platform—Behold, the Picture Book! Let’s Celebrate Stories We Can Feel, Hear, and See—will explore the deeply impactful ways picture books blend words and illustrations to create a uniquely powerful reading experience, one that is often the foundation for a lifetime of reading.

Mac recently read to thrilled 2nd graders at our #StorytimeProgram, inspiring the next generation of readers and creators to make their own art and stories! Educators, librarians, and booksellers can apply by March 3 to host an event with Mac #everychildareader
