Author and illustrator Barbara Cooney says that “a picture book is like a necklace with the illustrations being the jewels and the text is the string that holds them all together”.

The contrast between the light and dark images stand out and help the baby focus on the image. In the first 3 months, babies can focus on objects that are closer to them, so it’s important that you hold the book so that they can see the images. You can help by talking to your baby about the pictures, because it’s never too early to start reading to your child. <a href="https://ent.kotui.org.nz/client/en_AU/waimakariri/search/results?qu=black+white&qf=LOCATION%09Shelf+Location%091%3AWM_JP%09Junior+Picture+Books&qf=SUBJECT%09Subject%09Board+books.%09Board+books.&dt=list" target="_blank">Find these books in the catalogue.</a></p>  </div> <div class="content-types">   </div> </div>  </div>  </main>    <footer class="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="footer__featured"><h2 class="visuallyhidden">Associated Council websites</h2> <ul class="container list--img-tiles bare-list slider"> <li> <a href="https://waimakaririlibraries.com/eLibrary/ebook/borrowbox" class="img-wrapper"> <div class="img-content"> <h3>BorrowBox <span>We have hundreds of eAudiobooks and eBooks for you to download and enjoy.</span> </h3> <img src="https://waimakaririlibraries.com/__data/assets/image/0029/85826/eAudiobooks-and-eBooks-3.png" alt="" role="presentation"> </div> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://waimakariri.freegalmusic.com/" class="img-wrapper"> <div class="img-content"> <h3>Freegal Music+ <span>The Freegal Music+ service allows patrons to access a collection spanning over 18 million songs from more than 93,000 music labels worldwide</span> </h3> <img src="https://waimakaririlibraries.com/__data/assets/image/0018/164403/Freegal-Music-webthumb.jpg" alt="red background Freegal Music+ hand holding smartphone with Freegal Music+ on" role="presentation"> </div> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://waimakariri.recollect.co.nz/" class="img-wrapper"> <div class="img-content"> <h3>Waimakariri Heritage <span>Discover photographs, documents, audio, books and more about life in Waimakariri</span> </h3> <img src="https://waimakaririlibraries.com/__data/assets/image/0028/136729/Waimakariri-Heritage-webthumb2.jpg" alt="laptop and phone show Waimakariri Heritage page, dark blue side" role="presentation"> </div> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.kanopy.com/en/waimakariri?frontend=kui" class="img-wrapper"> <div class="img-content"> <h3>Kanopy <span>Stream inspiring films and documentaries anytime, anywhere.</span> </h3> <img src="https://waimakaririlibraries.com/__data/assets/image/0023/89033/TV-Phone-Web.png" alt="Kanopy " role="presentation"> </div> </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="container footer__details"> <a title="Go to the Waimakariri Libraries home page" href="/" class="footer__logo"></a><h2 class="visuallyhidden">Footer utility links</h2> <ul class="bare-list list--column-list"> <li> <a href="https://waimakaririlibraries.com/site-info/site-map" >Site map</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://waimakaririlibraries.com/site-info/about-this-site" >About this site</a> </li> <li> <a href="" >Privacy statement</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://waimakaririlibraries.com/site-info/help" >Help</a> </li> </ul> <div class="footer__contact-details"> <dl> <dt class="visuallyhidden"> </dt> <dd><strong>Waimakariri Libraries</strong></dd> <dt class="visuallyhidden">Address</dt> <dd>P O Box 386, Rangiora 7440</dd> <dt class="visuallyhidden">Phone number </dt> <dd> <a href="tel:033118901"><strong>p:</strong> 03 311 8901 </a> <a href="mailto:library@wmk.govt.nz"><strong>e:</strong> library@wmk.govt.nz</a></dd> <img id="ShieldedSiteLogo" style="padding-top:.3em" src="https://waimakaririlibraries.com/__data/assets/image/0025/37159/ShieldedSite_TabSmall.png" alt="Shielded Logo" width="40" height="41" /> </dl> </div> <div class="list--social"> <h2 class="hidden-portable">Connect with us</h2> <ul class="bare-list"> <li><a href="//www.facebook.com/pages/Waimakariri-Libraries/1440830029567736" title="facebook"> <span class="visuallyhidden">Facebook</span><i class="fa fa-facebook fa-lg"></i></a></li> <li><a href="//www.instagram.com/waimakaririlibraries/" title="instagram"> <span class="visuallyhidden">Instagram</span><i class="fa fa-instagram fa-lg"></i></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="footer__credentials"> <ul class="bare-list container"> <li class="nz-govt"><a title="To the Waimakariri District Council website" href="http://www.waimakariri.govt.nz/"></a></li> <li>© 2015 Libraries Waimakariri District Council.
