QUESTION #KidLitAMA Share your thoughts on including higher-order vocabulary CPs suggest I delete the words *forager* & *beneficial insects* from text & include in the back matter For example: An early bird,  a ground forager, tugs on an earthworm and sings a cheery hello song I have a glossary

I avoid complex vocabulary whenever possible. These words can really slow down a read aloud. Adn that's really the purpose of a picture book. #KidLitAMA@debbieohi.com
