Picture Book Smackdown
Since 2013, there has been an annual Picture Book Smackdown in honor of National Picture Book Month. This special event brings together author and student voices to share favorite picture books with the world. No matter what age, picture books matter in our world, and this event shows a few that are special to us. Orchard School has participated in the smackdown for several years.
