- Title
Articulate Silence: Books and Readers in Jason Chin's Coral Reefs and Redwoods.
- Authors
Yang, Lichung
- Abstract
This essay explores Jason Chin's construction of books and readers in two of his informational books, Redwoods and Coral Reefs. An intermodal analysis of the two books reveals that the 'silent' pictures speak as loudly as the images with text, articulating an alternate story that features the child reader's engagement with nonfiction books. In view of Louise Rosenblatt's transactional theory, the two titles foreground the often silenced but dynamic experience the child reader achieves with nonfiction to broaden the conventional remits of informational picturebooks.
