Silent books, books that rely on pictures alone to tell their story, are increasingly popular both with publishers and with the reading public.  Using pictures alone to convey their message, they can overcome the language barrier and foster intercultural encounter and exchange. Taking its cue from the popularity of this medium, IBBY Italia, in conjunction with Rome's Palazzo delle Esposizioni and with the support of IBBY International, presents Silent books.
