Little Red by Beatriz Martin Vidal
(Logos, 2012)
I recently received this absolutely stunning wordless picture book that
tells the tale of Little
Red Riding Hood in all of its darkness. Beatriz Martin Vidal is one of
the artists that I've been enamored with over the past few years, and
this books reminds just why I've been so blown away. The paintings are
intense, the fear and mystery is palpable. And the altered ending
creates a story where Red triumphs on her own, destroying the wolf
simply by the pureness of her being. Breathtaking and beautiful.
