Little Red

Bethan Woollvin, illustrated by Bethan Woollvin

In this retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red heads through the forest to her grandmother’s home and encounters a wolf. When he questions her, she is neither intimidated nor easily deceived. The wolf’s plan includes posing as Grandma, but Little Red recognizes the danger and takes action herself. Grandma is killed, while the story gives Little Red the means and resolve to overcome the wolf. The tale reframes the familiar encounter around a brave, clever heroine.
