Novel!! I loved reading this style of novel where it felt much more personal because of the pictures, poems, and real letters included. I think a picture essay also helps the pace of the story. I think for many students and families these stories could feel connectable. I would love to find more picture essays if I teach in a higher 4-5 grade classroom.
