Theme: Wordless Picture Books

Take a look at these three beautiful books created without words. I found these stories easy to follow and moving. I’m reading #libraryloot for research. Can you guess which one of these books has an environmental message?

OVER THE SHOP, by JonArno Lawson; illustrated by Qin Leng. This book is about community and how renting out the rundown apartment transforms a city block.

THE FISHERMAN & THE WHALE, by Jessica Lanan. This book highlights a global problem, “according to World Wildlife Fund, over 300,000 whales dolphins and porpoises die each year after becoming entangled in commercial fishing nets.”

FLY!, by Mark Teague. This book is almost wordless and is about a little robin who doesn’t want to leave the nest.
