Little Red Wolf: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing - Little Red Wolf Paul William Schumacher

What would old fairy tales have been like had the women been more empowered? What would have happened had Red Riding Hood been the hunter and the Big Bad Wolf been in love with her? What would have happened had Goldilocks been made into an indentured servant to pay for the damage she had done to the Three Bear's house? What if Prince Charming was an incompetent jerk and Rapunzel knew exactly what she was doing when she decided to seduce him in order to escape her tower? Gather around the fire and listen to old tales from the tongue of yet another bard. Meet Selena, who didn't want to be born a girl. It's inconvenient, complicated and frustrating. She would rather be out hunting in the forest than looking for a husband and producing babies. No one understood why it was so hard for her to do what was expected of her. She thinks life would be so much easier if she were a wolf. She goes with her father to find out why all the wildlife is disappearing. In order to put her father's mind at ease, she encourages him to treat her as a son, and he christens her with a new name: Faolan, Little Wolf.
