Soon she realizes there are rainbows all around her, if she looks closely.The benefits of wordless picture books include:Accessible to children of all ages and all literacy levels.Increase children's visual literacy.Accessible to readers who speak all languages.Reward and celebrate the power of observation, curiosity, and the arts.Perfect for those who love books by David Wiesner, Barbara Lehman, Aaron Becker, and David Macauley.
