A beautifully presented story about following your dreams.
A contemporary and beautifully illustrated retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Can Red find her way to Grandma's house, or will she be swallowed up by the choices awaiting her in the big city?Red is finally old enough to go into the city on her own. One day, she sets off with her trusty dog Woody to take a cake to Grandma, but the city makes Red feel hungry and she eats the cake. Determined to find a new present for Grandma, Red journeys deeper into the city but she is consumed by a seemingly overwhelming amount of choice. Like all children, Red must find her own path and discover what matters the most. This stylish and beautiful book is the perfect gift.
