Mac Barnett Embarks on Tour as National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature

Barnett to Champion Children's Picture Books with 'Behold, The Picture Book! Let's Celebrate Stories We Can Feel, Hear, and See' Initiative The Library of Congress, in partnership with Every Child a Reader, announces the launch of National Ambassador for Young People's Literature Mac Barnett's national tour with a visit to Coronado, California, this spring. He will travel to Elkhart, Indiana; Greensboro, North Carolina; Hanover, Pennsylvania; and Manvel, Texas this fall. During his tour, Barnett will share his passion for picture books and invite children and adults alike to join him in celebrating what's vibrant, joyful and inspiring about this quintessential – and highly participatory – American art form. As the ninth national ambassador, Barnett aims to shift the perception that picture books are merely a steppingstone to adult literature. He believes that reading picture books is a collaborative experience that creates space for children and adults to come together around shared storytelling. Click here for more information.
