Putting picture books in the public eye
The Big Picture is a national campaign to promote picture books. We are working to expand the market for, increase the supply of and enhance the status of picture books in the UK.
The campaign will support all those working with picture books, from art schools to teachers, from librarians to literature festivals, from booksellers to nurseries.
The campaign is backed by all major children's publishers and by ever-increasing numbers of writers and illustrators, including Shirley Hughes, Anthony Browne, Michael Foreman and Ken Wilson Max. Children's Laureate Michael Rosen is championing the campaign.
A judging panel drawn from the literary and visual arts selected The Big Picture's Best New Illustrators in February 2008.
