Babble by Caroline Adderson

A village is torn apart by its residents' inability to communicate, until a little girl shares the gift of punctuation in this humourous illustrated parable.

Chaos reigns in the village of Babble All day, the residents fight, yell and argue, and no one is heard or understood . . . until a mysterious little girl arrives and gives the locals something very strange: a period. But what is this thing that looks like a freckle or a spot? The villagers don't even know how to ask. However, as the girl begins to share more gifts -- a question mark, quotation marks -- the residents slowly learn how to communicate. But when more fights arise and disaster strikes, can punctuation truly save the day?
