Again I won‘t use a brothers Grimm book in the classroom even with other child because they are very dark book. However there are kid friendly versions of this story out there but the story is still pretty dark.
In honour of Louis Riel Day in Canada, and Native American Heritage Month in the USA, here‘s an #Indigenous authors extravaganza (plus a slideshow of appliquéd blankets I made):

If you‘re looking for something along the lines of Jon Klassen‘s picture books, try this dark & funny fable by Canadian artist Jess Hannigan. It‘s great for kids aged 3-8 anytime, but the black & fluorescent orange colour scheme, plus the spider, make this perfect for a spooky October read. #kidlit
I love this middle grade Peter Pan retelling by Muscogee Creek author Cynthia Leitich Smith. It focuses on two stepsisters & addresses racism straightforwardly in the text. Wendy & Lily immediately speak up when Peter or the Lost boys use the word ‘Injun,‘ for example. On many occasions the omniscient narrator breaks the fourth wall & addresses readers directly—I like that too. A fun read with satisfying depth. #Indigenous #kidlit
