ᱴᱮᱜ ᱠᱚ: Silent book, Wordless picture book, Marine conservation, Children’s illustration, Ocean pollution
ᱛᱮᱭᱟᱨ ᱛᱮᱠᱱᱚᱞᱚᱡᱤ: Nella Pancia Della Balena Silent Book was created digitally using iPad and Procreate, combining hand-drawn illustration techniques with digital layering and coloring. The design process involved iterative sketching, composition studies, and refined line work to balance narrative clarity with expressive detail. Color palettes and textures were carefully developed to enhance mood and storytelling while maintaining visual consistency across all 32 pages.
ᱰᱤᱡᱟᱭᱱ ᱪᱮᱞᱮᱧ: The hardest part was shaping a complex theme like marine pollution into a silent narrative that children could understand without words. Balancing humor with seriousness required many revisions to avoid either oversimplification or excessive heaviness. Zero text meant every visual detail carried weight, demanding careful research and iteration. Technical constraints of digital tools and the need for clarity across cultures added further challenges, all resolved through refinement and feedback.
ᱜᱚᱵᱮᱥᱚᱱᱟ: The research was qualitative, aiming to show how a silent book could raise awareness of marine pollution. Using sketching, storyboarding, and digital illustration, and guided by feedback from children and educators, the project showed that images alone foster empathy, imagination, and dialogue on ecology.
ᱯᱨᱮᱨᱚᱱᱟ: The inspiration for this project arises from a profound appreciation for whales and an increasing awareness of the threats posed by ocean pollution. The design was motivated by the intention to communicate environmental concerns to children in a manner that is gentle yet impactful. By employing silent storytelling, the book transcends language barriers and invites readers into an imaginative journey that combines empathy, curiosity, and ecological awareness through visual design.
ᱯᱨᱚᱡᱮᱠᱴ ᱥᱚᱢᱚᱭ: The project started in December 2023 in Seoul, South Korea, and was completed in February 2024 in Seoul, South Korea. It was exhibited at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair 2025, the Salone del Libro 2025, and the Canton Book Fair 2025.
ᱠᱟᱹᱢᱤ ᱦᱚᱨ: Nella Pancia Della Balena Silent Book is experienced through page turning, where each silent illustration guides the reader forward without words. Children follow the journey visually, interpreting the story through images and discovering new details with each reading. The absence of text invites imagination, allowing readers to create their own dialogue and deepen their connection to the narrative.
