The Red Thread - Hardcover

by Bes Ceyssens (Author), Laia Roca Trullols (Illustrator)

A heartwarming picture book about the power of imagination and creativity. For animal lovers ages 5 years and up.

When Jip the cat finds the beginning of a red thread, she sets out to investigate. Maybe there's a kite attached to it, or perhaps it's a dragon's dental floss. Her brother Sam doesn't believe that. It's probably just an ordinary red thread. Or is it?

Author Biography

Bes Ceyssens is a Belgian author of young adult novels, picture books, and adventure stories for younger readers. Alongside her writing career, Bes is studying to become a creative arts therapist. Her work often explores themes such as identity, imagination, and mental health. Through her stories, she hopes to move readers, lead them into other worlds, and remind them that they're not alone.

Laia Roca Trullols (1999) is an illustrator, art director, and graphic designer from Spain. She specializes in children's books, middle grade books, and chapter books, as well as illustration for licensing across all kinds of products and surfaces. As a child, she struggled with reading, but rather than avoiding books, she was drawn to them. Every Friday, she would visit her local library and lose herself in picture books--not in the words, but in the illustrations. She would invent her own stories through the images, a habit that quietly planted the seed for her future career. Today, she brings stories to life through her own illustrations, with the same wonder that captivated her as a girl.
