National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Mac Barnett continues his national tour this fall, sharing his passion for picture books with children and adults alike through his initiative “Behold, the Picture Book! Let’s Celebrate Stories We Can Feel, Hear, and See.” Mac will visit Elkhart, Indiana; Greensboro, North Carolina; Hanover, Pennsylvania; and Manvel, Texas.
As the ninth national ambassador, Barnett aims to shift adult perceptions of this quintessential American art form, ultimately elevating the picture book to its rightful place in the world of literature. Barnett believes that each picture book is a literary invitation, where children and adults can come together on equal terms to experience enriching storytelling.
