Red Thread [Punainen Lanka]

This Finnish wordless picturebook is self-published by the artist Filippa Hella. It uses a simple concept: a girl plays with a ball of red wool in negative space. The red thread rises above her and becomes all sorts of different things — a heart rate on a computer screen, the strings of a corset, a tightrope, a hammock. This picturebook provides an interesting way for children to discuss how meaning can be made through the use of symbols, and how those symbols can change to represent different things.
