The wild forests await, and Little Red Riding Hood longs for an adventure, but the royal decree to "be good" and warnings from other fairy tale characters about the Big Bad Wolf make her feel that her journey is full of dangers. Meeting Goldilocks, Hansel and Gretel, and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood quickly shifts from curious to angry as she wonders why she must change her behavior while the Villains are free to roam anywhere. Little Red Riding Hood's campaign gains momentum as beloved fairy tale characters join her on a mission to reject the "Rules of Being Good" and ultimately take back the forests. This clever illustrated book introduces a serious topic to children, encouraging them to question the cautionary tales sewn into the fabric of storytelling. While we are now familiar with feminist fairy tale stories, a seed of caution remains rooted in our stories, parenting, and laws, but what if we began to question this narrative for our children? What if the responsibility were shifted to the villains? The story "Wolves Will Not Be (Not) Wolves" introduces a serious topic in an easily understandable and light-hearted way.
