Little Red

Product Information

The eldest in a family of ten children, Bethan understands well what appeals to a variety of age groups, and all her work exudes a natural dry wit and charm. This derivative folktale, which retells the story of Little Red Riding Hood, is clever and humorous. These quick sketches gradually became more refined, at which point I moved onto larger paper where I combined all of my experiments and created the final artwork.

Unlike the traditional tale where the girl was saved by a woodcutter, here the little girl thinks no wolf should harm any kid. Betha Woollvin wrote these two books with a twist and there was no scary part or the characters can save themselves. Bethan Woollvin won the Macmillan Prize for Illustration in 2014 for Little Red – her classy, bold interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood.The story is quite dark when one thinks about it and in true sequential art format the words are innocent enough but the pictures tell the true story. The perfect gift for fairy tale fans of all ages , complete with tree-shaped cover flaps, and bright, bold colours that make this a sumptuous sight to behold. My new favorite thing about this book--besides those creative endpapers on which the story begins and finishes--is the representation of the characters.

The action takes place off-screen, but you see Red holding an axe, and then you see Red wearing the wolf's skin, and granny waving good-bye from her front door, so it's pretty clear that Red killed the wolf with an axe and released her grandmother from the wolf's stomach. Receiving critiques from your peers is vital in the creative process, but if you or others judge an idea before it has bloomed you might start to doubt something that could have been amazing. A witty twist on a favourite fairy tale, Little Red was a New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book . Told along the lines of Little Red Riding Hood, this story explores the journey taken by Little Red.This picturebook also takes a full advantage of the page layouts, dramatic page turns and close-ups.
