In this article we present "books on books" on or by four very important artists.
The books described are:

Iela Mari by Babalibri (Italia)

David Wiesner & The art of wordless storytelling on David Wiesner (USA)
The French publisher Autrement Jeunesse did a groundbreaking series of Histoire sans paroles (Stories without words) between 2004-2014.
We at Readsilentbooks have managed to collect every book in this series, that was in danger of being forgotten because so many of the books are now out of print.
In this article you can read about the series and explore each wonderful title. Enjoy!
