In 2021 I completed a wordless artist book for my little granddaughter, who was about a year old at the time. I produced it by converting a discarded kid’s library book, using the same process I’ve used for similar books in the past.
Look here if you want to see more about how I make these books and to view one of my past books.
This particular volume does have a story, though. I had been working on it off and on for a long time and getting nowhere. Other projects kept coming along. One day I took it out to see about finishing it up and to consider what I might write to accompany the images. It struck me that it was fine just as it was, without words.
And I thought my granddaughter might like it when she is a little older, and she can make up stories to go with the pictures herself.
Like the content, the cover has no words. The book has no title. I guess it can be called whatever the reader wants.
Here are the next two pages. Want to make up your own story?

How would it be called when you want to publish it and it needs an isbn?
It’s a one time project, I don’t plan to publish it, only to make an art gift book for my granddaughter.
Excellent! I like that the critters are indistinct in their specifics so they are open to interpretation – though I think they are definitely mammals. I also really like the contrast of the cold and warm colours so that the story could depict either different landscapes and climates or the same landscape but at a different time of day or season.
I liked making these little animals and I think they are warm and furry little guys, a bit crabby but willing to make friends. I think this page spread is one of my favorites.
