And wordless picture books are brilliant at fostering skills of interpretation and imagination, so important for future critical thinking and empathy. In the same way that we learn to read emotions from people’s faces, reading wordless picture books is more than just enjoying the pictures.

I wholeheartedly disagree! Picture books are an incredible format with a dual narrative told through both words AND pictures! They are perfect for young audiences to be able to join in the reading process by understanding so much more than the spoken words are telling them.
