Claude, wordless allusions on not letting perfect be the enemy of good

Young audiences love chaos and dogs. In real life, chaos isn’t something we want. It’s not something that anybody encourages from young children. Adults want kids to have the illusion of control, but without the inherent threat of physical danger or damaging material goods. Claude is a lovely, almost wordless book about three things that kids love. Dogs. Chaos. Unpredictability. It could certainly be argued that those final two go together, but let’s deal with why kids will dig Claude.

Claude is a wordless book about the fun and chaos a kid, her dog and a paint project can get into when they let down their perfectionist guard.
Don’t let good and fun be the enemy of perfect

Pencil is a wordless book about creativity, sustainability, and a pencil

Pencil is a wordless book. Wordless books take a moment to appreciate. If young readers don’t have the patience or don’t realize that the book intentionally has no text, they’ll be confused. Author/illustrator Hye-Eun Kim put a page in Pencil called How to Read a Silent Book. It’s a page whose irony is rich in its title, but whose information is needed to help readers appreciate what isn’t there.

Pencil, a gorgeously illustrated wordless book offers a sublime take on being creative, sustainability and individuality.
Smart and wordless, yet full of ideas and action.
