I can't imagine starting with the second book is a good way to go. And I've bounced off Johnstone books in print so I can see how it wouldn't grab someone not into the genre.

I love her work, but this seems like an appropriate opportunity for an Intuit illustrator. I still need to read Amal Unbound. I'm thinking of participating in Global Read-Aloud in my Theory & Practice of Teaching Reading course this fall--though I'm also cringing at the thought of taking up so much instruction time with a read-aloud. I know, I know! I would never hesitate for a second in a K-12 classroom, but college gives you so little face-to-face time with students. We may just do the picture book read-alouds, which is what I usually choose. I'm torn!
