小紅帽等不及要展開她的冒險,她整裝出發,奔向原野森林,
卻發現森林到處張貼著告示,「天黑不要在外逗留」、「不要跟野狼說話」⋯⋯
一開始小紅帽試著遵守規則,但心中仍然想探險。
她接連遇到金髮小女孩、糖果屋兄妹和三隻小豬警告:
「今天有大野狼出沒,你一定要乖乖聽話、遵守規則,不然就會被抓走,趕快回家躲起來。」
小紅帽越想越生氣,為什麼大野狼可以在森林裡四處遊走,她卻得乖乖躲起來?
如果規則不合理,一定得遵守嗎?
小紅帽有不同的思維,她聚集大家,拒當”聽話”的小孩,一起團結拿回於他們的森林和自由。
運用數個經典故事,重新組合與加入”思考”的核心架構,讓繪本有了不同的使命與意義。
本書非常適合和孩子談論和平正義與健全制度,也能讓孩子學習思考的重要。
The wild woods are waiting, and Little Red wants to have an adventure, but weighed down by the King's Decree to "Be Good" and warnings from other fairy tale characters that the Big Bad Wolf is about, Little Red's journey suddenly seems fraught...
On meeting Goldilocks, Hansel and Gretel and the Three Little Pigs, Little Red quickly goes from curious to furious as she wonders why she needs to alter her behaviour when the Big Bads are free to wander anywhere. Little Red's campaign gathers pace as beloved fairy tale characters join her in a march to reject the "Rules for Being Good" and finally take back the woods.
This witty picture book introduces a serious subject to children, encouraging them to challenge the cautionary tales which are sewn into the fabric of storytelling. Although we are now well-versed in feminist fairy tales, a seed of caution remains rooted in our stories, parenting and laws, but what if we started challenging this narrative for our children? What if the onus of responsibility is shifted onto the villain?
Wolves will (not) be Wolves introduces a serious subject in an easy-to-understand and lighthearted way.
