Silent Books: A Story Without Words
About five years ago at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the author first encountered the phenomenon of 'silent books,' which captivate with wordless stories, including Anita Rupeika's book 'Good Morning, Mom!'.
Discovery in Frankfurt
About five years ago at the Frankfurt Book Fair, at the stand of the Bologna Children's Book Fair, the author first learned about the phenomenon of 'silent books.' It took only two minutes at the stand to fall in love with them wholeheartedly.
Without Words, But with Stories
A woman speaking English with a strong Italian accent talked about books that contain not a single word but hide countless stories. The author held her breath, caught every word, turned the pages of the books displayed on the stand with admiration, and noted to herself: 'silent books' are the highest point of the art of storytelling.
Example: 'Good Morning, Mom!'
One such book is Anita Rupeika's 'Good Morning, Mom!', which proves that stories can be told without words, using only illustrations.
