The study examines the contribution of visuals to narration, a process proposed by Kress and van Leeuwen as 'reading images'.The picture book conveys a narrative through verbal language and visual grammar. The study explores semiotic systems in terms of image syntax, gestural, spatial and iconic signs to examine the relation between the denotation context of the narrative text and the connotation of the visual text that creates polygamous illustrations and indefinite meaning-making.
