There are so many more picture books with great voice! We started the Books with Great Voice series in episode 56, where Julie Hedlund defined the types of voice found in picture books and Katie Davis made us laugh while discussing the funny style of voice. In episode 57, Founder Emeritus Laura Backes read examples of picture books that use a lyrical voice.
In part 3 of our series, author and Picture Book Summit Founder Emma Walton Hamilton digs into character voice: how to recognize it, distinguish it from other types of writing voice, and how to utilize it in your own work. Emma picked some stellar books to read and share. You’re going to love this one!
