ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Wordless novel

Okay kiddo, have you ever read a book without any words in it? That's what a wordless novel is. Instead of using words to tell the story, the pictures do all the work! It's kind of like watching a movie without any sound.

These types of books are really cool because you get to use your imagination to interpret what each picture means. Sometimes the pictures can be really sad or scary, but other times they can be funny or happy.

Wordless novels are also really great for people who speak different languages. They can all enjoy the same story without any language barriers getting in the way.

So next time you see a book without any words in it, remember that it's a wordless novel and it's up to you to use your imagination to understand the story.
