So, this was our very first look at a wordless picture book.
The little ones' reactions were mixed. One liked its simplistic elegance. The other couldn't understand why the butterfly didn't have any bright colors on its wings. And, I thought it was time to introduce the kids to some ‘arty’ stuff. So there!
I found the illustrations exquisite and emotive. Using a stark, white background full of promise, the creators wordlessly and elegantly communicate the passing of seasons and change.
