One Red Thread
Description
One red thread connects us all. Follow a red string as it makes its way through a community, from people who know each other to people who don't, from a call to play, to a family welcome, to a feel-better-soon wish, and finally a good night.
The red thread's journey intertwines them all, and readers will delight in spotting the string in every mixed-media illustration. In many cultures throughout the world, a red thread represents connectivity, destiny, luck, protection, faith, and strength. When it's often easy to feel lost or disconnected, this heartfelt story is a gentle reminder that we are all here together, even if we live in different places. The impact we have on one another is greater than we can even imagine.
One Red Thread encourages children to recognize and cherish the connections that shape their lives, and the back matter goes further. It includes related activities to help start conversations within families and in classrooms about empathy, kindness, and the power of relationships.
