We are very excited to kick off the first week of our second annual OPS Picture Book Awards, an event where our OPS reading community is given the opportunity to recognize some of the best picture books from the previous year.
Our students will be reading, analyzing, and considering five picture books selected by our award committee, which is made up of myself, OPS Principal Michelle Hawley, and our Director of Curriculum Amy Brancato. Each of the five books will be read aloud and discussed with our OPS students, who will then have an opportunity to vote on which book(s) will be awarded with one of three awards: Best Illustrations, Best Message, and Best Overall picture book. The winning book(s) will be announced on Friday, March 4th as the culmination of our Read Across America festivities. The first book our students will consider is Be A Tree! by Maria Gianferrari with illustrations by Felicita Sala. To find out more about the inspiration behind Be A Tree! and to see how Felicita Sala created some of it's illustrations, please watch the video below.
