<div><br></div>
<div>personnally</div>
<div>I think english sub-tiles can be distracting .</div>
<div>( if its necessary, any english I put on the last pages)<br><br></div>
<div>if illustrated well, a book should almost tell the story by pictures.</div>
<div>its closer to immersion when the reading actually illuminates the illustrations.</div>

<div>It is good for all of us to here about this work -- from both Tammy and Richard - </div>
<div>I'm sure 'being a worm' is a real attraction for children! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd like to hear from others about the use of English sub-titles -- Seems to me that </div>
<div>moving away from that is the biggest trend in the commumities where I work so that</div>
<div>there is no appeal to the use of English at all and no distraction away from the native language. </div>

<div>is there a place where we can see some of the 80 some books</div>

<div>I'm currently writing and illustrating a few books for children</div>
<div>Just finished an interactive board book </div>
<div>a story about a worm and his adventure with birds.</div>
<div>there are holes punched in so children can use their own finger to "be the worm."<br>
<div class="gmail_quote">if they paint a little face on their finger - all the better!</div>

<div class="gmail_quote">Some of these are "cross-cultural" and could be used with any language</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">or printed without words at all for the story teller to ad-lib.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Wyandotte Nation has be been ordering blank board books with sticky sheets</div>
