Easy Readers: The Transition from Picture Books to Chapter Books

We Don’t Fit in a Box – Chicago Book Expo
We were at the Book Expo in Chicago about a month ago and among a lot of the things that we realized while roaming around the halls of McCormick Place filled with a lot of exciting books, authors, writers, illustrators, was that we don’t fit in the box of the book industry.
