The Big Read
So very cool to see this blog post devoted to “exploring how jazz has been approached in children’s literature.” That language is taken directly from the post that is located at http://bigreadblog.arts.gov/?p=6226.
The blog post includes a listing of picture books that include wonderful illustrations and information that showcase “the sounds, history, and personalities of jazz.” Whether you teach young children, middle school students, or even high school picture books are a valuable teaching tool. I suggest that you check out the blog post and see if there is a book or two that you’d like to include in your teaching this school year!
