Target audience
Picture books are most often aimed at young children, and while some may have very basic language designed specifically to help children develop their reading skills, most of them are written with vocabulary that the child can understand but not necessarily read. For this reason, picture books tend to have two functions in the lives of children: they first read for small children by adults, and then children read them on their own once they start learning to read.
Some picture books are published with content intended for older children or even adults. Tibet: Through the Red Box , by Peter Sis, is one example of a picture book intended for mature audiences.
