The Girl in Red
The Girl in Red | Aaron Frisch
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
A good story can change. In The Girl in Red, acclaimed illustrator 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.

#ReadingResolutions Day 7: This is a decidedly moribund and modern twist to #Red Riding Hood. In this version, the ‘forest‘ is one that most city folks are familiar with. It is in this landscape that the reader is able to catch glimpses of womanity –seeming portrayals of the objectification of females in billboards & ads, and the ever-present wolf that is embedded like so many visual clues within the pages.
