The Runaway Button: Picture Book, No Words. Book for Children to Build Their Own Story. Wordless Picture Books for Toddlers and Early Readers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248670673)

The Runaway Button is a wordless picture book made for families, classrooms, and little readers who love to "read the pictures" and tell the story their own way. With bright, modern cartoon illustrations, children follow a little girl as she chases her runaway button through the neighborhood-spotting clues, noticing emotions, and cheering for the happy ending.

• Early literacy & storytelling: Builds narrative skills (beginning, middle, end) without needing printed words.

• Speech & language practice: Perfect for describing actions, emotions, and sequencing events.

• Social-emotional learning: Highlights perseverance, patience, and kindness when someone helps solve a problem.

• ESL / multilingual families: Anyone can "read" it in any language.

• Busy parents & educators: Quick to pick up, easy to reuse in different ways every time.

• Tell the story together: Ask, "What do you think happens next?" and let your child lead.

• Find-and-point game: Look for the button on each page and follow where it goes.

• Emotion check: Ask, "How does she feel here?" and "What would you do?"

• Sequence practice: After reading, have your child retell the story from memory using the pictures.

• Make your own words: Older kids can write captions, speech bubbles, or a full written version as a fun activity.

This book can be enjoyed again and again-because every reader can create a slightly different story each time.
