«¿Qué es?» is the wordless children's book by Leo Lionni, published by Kalandraka in hardcover (12 pages, in Spanish).
It is a wordless book in which each page shows an everyday object or figure with simple shapes; without written text, the illustration invites recognition and naming of what is seen. The images, typical of Leo Lionni's characteristic collage, allow the pre-reader to build their own visual reading of scenes and objects from the environment.
Original title: «What?», originally published in 1983; this Spanish edition is from 2009. Square format of 16 × 16 cm.
Designed for pre-readers and young children who are beginning to recognize everyday objects; it can also serve to start conversation and expand vocabulary.
Leo Lionni was an American writer and illustrator of children's books. Born in the Netherlands, he moved to Italy and lived there before moving to the United States in 1939, where he worked as an art director for several advertising agencies, and then for Fortune magazine. He returned to Italy in 1962 and started writing and illustrating children's books. In 1962, his book Inch by Inch was awarded the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award.
