MPL: Wordless Picture Books

Wordless Picture Books are great ways to engage with your children and help them build their narrative awareness skills and visual literacy. The lack of print to guide the story means that children must look at things like facial expressions, actions and other visual indicators to fill in the blanks and figure out what is going on. Wordless books open up opportunities to interact with your child and ask them to describe to you what they are seeing and tell the story from their perspective.
