    • Abstract:
      This article shares a variety of picturebooks that invite teachers to think critically about curriculum, teaching, learning, and technology (CTLT). It posits that teaching and learning are not perfectible absolutes but continuous processes that invite teachers to develop beyond what they already know. Reading professional literature, conducting research, attending conferences, collaborating with colleagues, and discussing and reflecting on current practices are resources for teachers to grow and develop, instructionally and intellectually. Picturebooks are also important resources. Like all texts, picturebooks can offer meaning potentials that invite teachers to think critically about CTLT, as well as help K‐12 students and teachers develop a love affair with books.
