I have so many children’s books here, many from my days as an editor of children’s books at Houghton Mifflin, but since they’re in English I’m assuming they aren’t what you’re looking for. HOWEVER, in my second career as home care nurse for high-risk families, I found that wordless picture books were fabulous for some of my patients, many of whom were illiterate or semi-literate parents. They were so happy to be able to share a story with their kids, using their own words and imagination to narrate. It makes books friendlier, too.

Andrea
