Little Red Riding Hood Can’t See Her Way

This time Little Red Riding Hood is blind and can't see her way, will she arrive in her grandma's house successfully?

Little Red Riding Hood, always curious about the world, wants to visit her grandmother across the forest alone. But she can’t see her way, what difficulties would she encounter? How can she face the big wolf alone in the forest? On her way, she meets a rabbit, a hedgehog and a skunk. She learns to use her feelings to percept the world, her courage and wisdom to save herself from dangers. Surprisingly, in her eyes, the big wolf is quite cute…

This book is a fresh take on the classic fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood," as well as the first children's picture book written by the contemporary picture book author-illustrator: Han Xu. The big bad wolf not only did not eat Little Red Riding Hood this time, but also assisted Little Red Riding Hood in reaching his grandmother's house.

What's more surprising is that this time Little Red Riding Hood is blind and can't see her way. Little Red Riding Hood learns to perceive the world bit by bit in the tense atmosphere created by the author with the color of the picture and the proportion of the characters, and uses his courage and wisdom to avoid danger. And what about the big bad wolf? Whether it was because of the influence of Little Red Riding Hood, or because of the expedient measures taken after the injury, the book of psychological changes does not provide a clear answer, but instead leaves a clue in the form of a bow, which prompts readers to imagine themselves and find their own answer.
