Podcast – Books with Great Voice Part 2

In this episode, we continue to discuss voice in picture books. We started this series in the last episode where Julie Hedlund defined the types of voice found in picture books and Katie Davis gave us hilarious examples of the funny style of voice. If you haven’t already, be sure to go back and listen to episode 56 for help pinning down the elusive meaning of “voice.”

Today, we bring you Founder Emeritus Laura Backes and examples of using a lyrical voice in picture books to reinforce certain types of stories.

Let’s jump in.

Books mentioned in this episode:

• GIANT SQUID* written by Candace Fleming and illustrated by Eric Rohman
• WHEN YOU ARE BRAVE* written by Pat Zeitlow Miller and illustrated by Eliza Wheeler
