Friendship Without Words - Summer Adventure 2021

Children: Wordless books encourage kids to use their understanding of story structure, comprehension skills, and vocabulary to tell a story. Here are some wordless picture books about friendship. Alameda County Library invites you to come along for our 2021 Summer Adventure, A World of Stories! From June 15 to August 15, let’s explore new and creative ways to share our stories while also learning about others’ stories through listening, watching, and of course—reading! Pick up an Adventure Guide at any AC Library location starting June 15.
