Aimed at children aged five and up, Aperture's This Equals That is a clever and surprising picture book by artists and collaborators Jason Fulford and Tamara Shopsin. It takes young viewers on a whimsical journey while teaching them associative thinking and visual language, as well as colours, shapes, and numbers.

Through playful and inspired sequencing, everyday scenes are transformed into a game of pairs, enjoyable for adults and children alike. Using a simple narrative and rhythmic sequence of photographs, the book raises multiple meanings, making the experience of reading the book interactive — parent and child must ask questions and come up with their own answers, drawing on the child’s imagination. Each spread presents a new relationship that changes and shifts as the book unfolds, with the last picture relating again to the first, forming a circle.
