A2. I don’t think it’s possible to have over-representation but there are certainly some communities which are under-represented in PBs. Writers are encouraged to write about what they know, so we need to encourage members of those communities to share their stories. #picbookbc
A1. Representation in picture books is important for readers to understand & relate better to others and/or relate to the situations experienced by characters like themselves. Here are some examples of PBs featuring inclusive/representative stories #picbookbc

Join the ‘Octopus’ party tonight ( thanks @PictureBkSerge 😂🐙) and you could win a copy of @Liz_Ledden and #MakatoKoji ‘s wonderful new picture book! Thanks to @HardieGrantCP #picbookbc

Are you ready to party tonight with @Liz_Ledden ?! 🥳🎈😄 @StephMWard @juliekidsbooks @Toltzable @kayebaillie @raffeduteach @FableFiddler @zewlanmoor @EmmaQuayBooks @PictureBkSerge @kdoylewriter @lobroo @SHarrowWrites @sjwallacewrites @gibbscalder @StephMWard #picbookbc
A4. A birthday themed picture book with a bit of a different perspective, helping to highlight how special the day is, especially for younger ones who haven’t had many birthdays yet. #picbookbc
A2. What’s not to love? Animals are a load of fun. Parties are a load of fun. Put them together in a picture book and there’s a lot to get excited about (without having to clean up the mess). #picbookbc
A1 continued. Piggie and Elephant go on a lot of adventures together and the series wouldn’t be complete without a dress up party. 🎉 #picbookbc
A1. This hilarious picture book begins with all the pooches in the world enjoying a high class ball. #picbookbc
Serge Smagarinsky retweeted
Tick tock goes the picture book clock. One hour to go! #picbookbc
A4. When race is explored in modern picture books, it is often done in a positive light to promote inclusivity #picbookbc
A3. If a concept is completely foreign to a reader, there may be room for some didacticism in picture books, but ideally the story should demonstrate and help explore the concept #picbookbc
A2. Picture books on topics that readers can relate to, that spark curiosity, and/or are open to interpretation, can all be great conversation starters. This includes the 4 books in my response to Q1 #picbookbc
A1. Here are some fav picture books dealing with tricky topics including domestic violence, single parent families, Alzheimer’s and depression #picbookbc

Congratulations to @Liz_Ledden on her beautiful new picture book! I remembered when the chat started you were yet to publish one and now you are on book #3 . What a joy to see 🥰 #picbookbc
@debratidball This answers @mybookburrow too, the idea came from imagining a character being a bit outraged they're not in any books, then toning this down to be something more meaningful and contemplative (but still fun). And a love of meta fiction! #picbookbc
@PictureBkSerge @juliekidsbooks Oooh true! There is a camouflage scene in the book too #picbookbc
I have to ask this @Liz_Ledden . Are u currently working on an Octopus costume for book week!!! 🥰🥰🐙🐙🐙 #picbookbc
@juliekidsbooks Hi Julie, yes I did! It started life as a slug, but after working on it more with my editor it was discussed that a more unappealing character could be offensive if representing those lesser represented! An octopus has more positive connotations (smart, unique!) #picbookbc
@picturebookbc @Liz_Ledden Love this photo of Liz and her book #picbookbc
@EmmaQuayBooks @Liz_Ledden @picturebookbc @sophiebeerdraws Totally agree. What a wonderful world when we don’t have to identify particular characters/ characteristics but just enjoy the experiences from any perspective #picbookbc
@Liz_Ledden @picturebookbc @sophiebeerdraws I feel different body shapes and sizes being represented, incidentally and without mention, is something that’s important… and will hopefully happen more often. #picbookbc
Hi @Liz_Ledden, Did you consider other animals before octopus, or did octopus inspire the story? #picbookbc
A4 another more recent picture book with neurodiverse character is this one #picbookbc
@picturebookbc @sophiebeerdraws A3 Another one is Harriet gets Carried Away, where her two dads are mentioned but this isn't the focus of the story #picbookbc
@picturebookbc A3 I think more incidental diversity in pbs without it being spotlighted. A good example is @sophiebeerdraws new book Mama Bear and Me, where the mum is illustrated as having a larger body type than many stereotypical picture book mums #picbookbc
@PictureBkSerge @mybookburrow Intriguing! 😍 #picbookbc
Q3. I think there is still a lot more room for books around disabilities. Visually and hearing impaired I don’t see much of in kids lit. 🥹 #picbookbc
@picturebookbc A3: More delving into the tricky topics and complexities of issues around diversity, and less superficial celebrations of “culture” in terms only related to festivals, costumes, food etc. #picbookbc
@picturebookbc A2 I used anthropomorphic animals in Everyone Wants an Octopus Book! to explore this, as a gentler way of introducing this concept to young readers. As an allegorical story it can be interpreted as referring to many types of different characters without being specific #picbookbc
