We were blown away by this beautiful book. Such beautiful illustrations, and a brilliant take on a classic tale! We are all in love with the book. From the wolfish presence on every page, to Red’s slightly glazed stare as she’s drawn into all the big city has to offer, every page offers so much detail to the reader.

A metaphorical masterpiece that we should all take heed of.

I adore this fresh take on the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale. Told with style and adventure, Marie Voigt’s Red and the City is adorable.

Red and the City is different. Really different. This gorgeous picture book debut, written and illustrated masterfully by Marie Voigt, took me completely by surprise. True enough, it is a version of Little Red Riding Hood, however it is bigger than that, it is a story of resilience and the power of following your heart, even when big, bad things try to swallow you up. Providing a multitude of opportunities to broach challenging questions whilst enjoying a fantastic story, Red and the City is a perfect addition to the Little Red Riding Hood literary canon. If you want a truly original take on this traditional tale, look no further.

Red and the City is the most beautiful retelling of a classic tale I have read so far.
Naseeba Alozaibi, Instagram Picture Book Reviewer

Fresh, different and provocative, the book comes just in time to remind us that the wolves in life are not always human … What I liked the most is the author’s idea that we all live in wolf city, but only we can choose what to do in it … It’s already listed in my favourite readings column and I want to read it to all parents … It is a great gift for fairytale lovers, fans of fine illustrations, and anyone who sometimes loses sight of the heart flower path. But it is mostly for our children who have the right to be prepared for the world.
