..Le petit chaperon rouge..

 

I have been wanting to share children books with you that are different. I will try to post some more regularly.

My son Roman loves the reading the Red riding hood in this symbol book by Warja Lavater, edition Maeght 1965. It is immensely long (4 meters) and folds into a very small accordion book. All characters are symbolised by patterns and colours. So the big black spot is the wolf and it has grandma (blue) inside.

There are several fairytales by Warja Lavater in this symbolized way, it is very special and I like it because it helps to create imagination.
