An urban setting recasts a well-known tale for a modern audience, with recognizable dangers.
A good story can change. The Girl in Red, conceived and illustrated by acclaimed artist Roberto Innocenti, offers a modern take on the centuries-old tale of an ailing grandmother, a wicked wolf, and a young girl in a red coat. Innocenti’s brilliantly detailed illustrations present a city as a wilderness, while text by Aaron Frisch narrates the journey of a girl named Sophia through the twists and turns of a stormy day. In this classic tale made new, the ending you once learned need not be the end forevermore.
