This week I read a picture book called The Red Tree. At first, I found it
somewhat difficult to interpret the context of the book as it is a story without
any particular narrative. The powerful images show a series of make believe
worlds, which allow readers to make their own meaning of the text without any
written explanation. I believe that the book is about a girl who passes through
a time of darkness and despair, yet ultimately finds hope and growth at the end
of her journey. This book would be appropriate for middle primary and upper
primary students as it encourages children to express their feelings by means
of metaphors e.g. monsters.
