How it's used
Focuses specifically on books where the visual art is the primary driver of the narrative rather than just a supplement to text. While often associated with children, the term is increasingly used for sophisticated graphic storytelling aimed at adults as well. It carries a slightly more artistic or curated nuance than simply calling something a storybook.
