The Girl and the Wolf

The Girl and the Wolf

Vermette, Katherena (Author)

Flett, Julie (Illustrator)

A retelling of the "Little Red Riding Hood" story; in this version, the wolf is a helper, and the little girl must rely on both his knowledge and her own to find her way to safety. The Kirkus review states, "Readers will likely infer the girl and her mother are First Nations peoples due to illustrator Flett’s (Cree-Métis) visual cues of brown skin, black hair, and moccasins and through author Vermette’s (Métis) textual reference of tying tobacco in cloth to leave as a thank-you."
