Hi Tasha,
I recently created a wordless picture book display for high school students -
focusing on the concept of: building critical thinking, develop empathy,
broaden perspectives through images.
I think Duck!Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal is a great one for your purposes.
Have fun!

Hi all,
I am working on a class on visual literacy. I want to start with a picture book
that helps demonstrate the notion that -- in Debbie Abilock's words -- every
image makes an argument. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Currently, I am planning to use Brendan Wenzel's They All Saw a Cat, because it
uses varied illustration styles to convey the perspective with which different
animals view a cat. However, I need to carry several dozen copies with me when
I travel and that book is only available in hardcover.
Whether any particular title is available in paperback is something I can
check, but I would appreciate any title suggestions that you think would be a
good fit to illustrate this principle.
Thank you,
Tasha
