Have you ever found yourself writing a story and wish you could think of a book that dealt with something you were writing about? Well, I have. So when literacy Consultant Connie Foland showed me her mostly picture book list, I thought it would be something that writers could use, even though it was developed for teachers. These are books that Connie has read, loves and uses in her various workshops.
