SHELF – Issue 1 marks the beginning of this biannual magazine dedicated entirely to picture book matters (because picture books really do matter). Thoughtful, curious, and beautifu lly put together, SHELF sets out to celebrate the people, ideas, and conversations shaping the world of picture books. Inside the first issue, you’ll find a generous collection of reviews covering picture books released between August 2024 and January 2025, alongside in-depth features and contributions from voices across the kidlit landscape. Highlights include pieces with Chris Haughton, Laura Carlin, Helen Hancocks, and Ness Wood of Orange Beak, as well as a look at Bumpy Books and Taylor Sterling of Moonbow, with plenty more discoveries throughout. For anyone who reads, writes, illustrates, publishes, or simply loves picture books, SHELF Issue 1 is where it all begins. Show more
