It was a startlingly confident debut which she followed with an equally striking and feminist take on Rapunzel , with not a handsome prince in sight.

In this modern picture book update to "Little Red Riding Hood," author-illustrator Bethan Woollvin uses sly humor, striking visuals, and a bit of ingenuity to turn a familiar tale on its head. They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated! Lovely book that is wonderfully illustrated and teaches a good moral re girls standing up for themselves. But thats where things take a turn for the better, this Little Red Riding Hood has a plan of her very own and the wolf had better watch out!It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything.
You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.In this defiant interpretation of the traditional tale, the cheeky, brave little girl seizes control of her own story (and the wolf gets rather more than he bargained for). Thoughtfully written by someone who clearly understands how children think and feel and what they look for. A witty twist on a favourite fairy tale, Little Red was chosen as one of The New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Books 2016. My 3 year old daughter absolutely adores this story, so much so that we have to read it three times (me, my husband and daughter all have a turn) before bedtime.
You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot!Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. Two Hoots) It seems that Little Red is not frightened by the wolf that appears on the path to Grandmother’s house. Retelling the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood, Bethan’s debut picture book ‘Little Red’ won the Macmillan Children’s Book Competition in 2014, was named a New York Times ‘Best Illustrated Book’ in 2016, won the AOI World Illustration Awards for children’s books in 2017, and was nominated for both the Little Rebels Children’s Book Award, and the Klaus Flugge Prize in 2017. I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books.
