Sometimes...no words are needed!

Today, the most wonderful children's picture book came across my desk and like always I cannot wait to open it up to discover what treasure lies within. Sometimes the most powerful stories need no words at all. Henry Cole tells a story of two main characters that are brave, have a strong bond, and communicat with great depth yet remain silent. Unspoken allows the reader to make the story their own-filling in what has been unspoken. I loved this book and hope you will check it out at the library.
