A Book With Messages, But No Words

There is a saying that states: “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Pictures that capture nature’s beauty from around the world have a way of provoking so many more words. The words become a unique dialogue of non-verbal. This book is unique to most picture books that somehow tell the reader what to think, based on the point the author is trying to make. Reverting back to the saying: “A picture is worth a thousand words”, Mr. Xia invites the reader/viewer to use his or her imagination and creativity and place a title and expression on the 50 pictures featured in this book. He wants the readers to express their feelings and understanding for what they see in the pictures. Youli feels that the reader/viewer will be able to join in on the non-verbal, but visual dialogue that was previously enjoyed between him and nature.The purpose of this book is to engage the reader/viewer in an experience of virtual travel to some of the places where Youli traveled. The reader is invited into the dialogue. This book promises to expose the reader/viewer to captured photographic moments with nature. They will never again see nature in the same way.
