Toss in all of the picture books they’ve worked on separately as well. If you are unaware of their collaborations, I’m jealous of you, because you’re guaranteed a wonderful day of discovery ahead of you. This partnership has brought us some pretty amazing picture books. Extra Yarn is set in a snowy, winter landscape, and it’s written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Jon Klassen.
Seeing as how it’s currently wintertime, it also seems like an appropriate opportunity to write about our favorite picture book of all time - Extra Yarn. Traditionally, I think it’s safe to say that I’m a sucker for nostalgia, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a new book which awakens all of those old childhood feelings. As a parent, when I’m trying to pick my favorite picture book, it’s an interesting thought to consider whether I would lean towards the books of my own childhood, or whether I would prefer the new stories I am discovering with my own children.
