The Big Bad Wolf in My House

Valérie Fontaine

A young girl describes living with her mother and stepfather, who is represented in the illustrations as a wolf. He yells at her mother and hurts both of them, leaving marks the girl tries to hide and making her bedroom feel unsafe. She uses images from a familiar wolf story to describe trying to protect herself. When her mother packs their things, they leave for a house where other mothers and children are welcomed, and where there are no wolves.
