Art appreciation. I'll admit I can't name any modern artists, but I know what I like. The closest bookstore is about 45 minutes from my house. I head straight to the back, to the picture book wall in the children's department and admire the creations and whimsy of cover art.
Simplicity. In the age of technology and speed, I think it's important to relax the mind with face to face art. In other words, get off the computer, after you order your picture book of course, and relax with pictures and stories.
Storytelling. Picture books are a great example of the " art of storytelling," as my daughter Summer Lane author would say. Although she writes young adult novels, she would tell you the importance of summing up your story. Picture books are great examples!

Youthfulness. Picture books have always had a place on my bookshelf, and a place in my heart. That's why I finally published my first one. Reading a picture book reminds me of my childhood, which was pretty awesome. Today, picture books are a great way to relax and enjoy life's moments.
