PROMPT 7

When searching the #picturebooks I was in awe of the colour and the vibrance that exploded on the screen in front of me. I was amazed at how many resources and wonderful art I found, as I scrolled through the abundance of posts. 

I picked this post because the illustrations caught my eye, the way that the colours are so simple but the drawings are so detailed, it really moved me. I am so excited to start my picture book collection after searching through this hashtag. I didn’t realise how many amazing books there were in this world.

PROMPT 7

Whilst exploring the tag #picturebooks, I was in awe of the abundance of colour and illustrations that sprung onto my computer screen. it has really shown me, how big of a social platform Tumblr is, and the many, different ways in which individuals use it, to express themselves and share their own artwork. 

Whilst exploring this tag, I stumbled across the following picture, which depicts the relationship between a reader and a writer. I really loved this picture as it was a great way to explore and understand the relationship that you wouldn’t usually think about, being between a reader of a book and the writer of that book.

I found the release of anew picture book through the #picturebook search. New author Jake tells of his experience creating this picture book, and how a tiny dream became reality! The picture book received a lot of shares and comment applauding his success!

Prompt Seven

When I typed in #picturebooks there was a lot of things that came up, some relevant and others not so much. I came across this fantastic page called “the little book room” which consisted of many picture story books as well as a bit of a blurb about the particular book. It also had many books that were new releases, must reads or coming soon which was a great thing to see. I started following this page as I think as a teacher it would be a fantastic page to follow to keep up to date with reading and what to read to my class. After an extensive look through this page it not only brought back many memories from books I had read at primary school but also many interesting looking book that I will look into reading and may become those memorable books for my future students.

Prompt 7: #Picturebooks

For this weeks prompt, when I searched #picturebooks on Tumblr, I found a whole variety of search results and was quite bombarded with images and information. I found people were using Tumblr as a means of advertising their new own picture books while others posted their illustrations or praise for certain books. 

A post that I quite liked was by ‘thelittlebookroom’ writing praise for a book called ‘The Bear and the Piano’ by David Litchfield. The post had a friendly tone to it as the writer described the book and its relation to music and dreams and then went on to state the ‘random things we love about the book’. 

When trying to find an appropriate hashtag that was relevant to this weeks post, admittedly, I did struggle a little bit as I'm quite unfamiliar with how Tumblr works and wasn't sure how to navigate the search. However, what I found was that by searching a general hashtag such as #picturebooks, the search results can be extensive and often irrelevant which is why I would approach Tumblr and other like sites with caution if implementing it in the classroom.
