This
is the easiest of the PBT questions to consider when approaching a picture
book. Often the major and minor themes of picture books are concepts of
social-emotional learning that are also considered aspects of an abundant
spiritual or religious life. On this blog, I consider topics that directly
connect with themes found in the Old Testament (Hebrew) Scriptures and New
Testament Scriptures.
On
each post of the Picture Book a Day for a Year list, you’ll see a
section in the middle that lists many more PBT Topics than the blog site would
allow me to offer for search labels. The blogsite’s search labels are the green
words at the bottom of this screen. Click on a word there, and you’ll be taken
to all the books I’ve connected to that word.
To
demonstrate the abundance of themes that can be found in those lists, here are
6 biblical themes and 6 featured PBT books that connect to those themes (1 each
for the first 6 letters of the alphabet):

Have fun exploring with this large list of PBT search labels and enjoy the abundance of PBT books that are offered here for your good work and rich conversations. In a few days, I’ll discuss PBT Question # 3.
May your exploring yield many godly possibilities,
