Little Red Riding Hood

by Thomas Nelson, Trina Schart Hyman, Josephine Evetts-Secker, Charles Perrault, Brothers Grimm, Andrea Wisnewski, Ellie Jenkins

The story of Little Red Riding Hood reset in rural New England of the early nineteenth century.

Into the forbidding but beautiful New England winter steps a resourceful farm girl in her scarlet cloak, bound with her basket of presents for her ailing grandmother. Told in a folksy cadence, the tale ends happily, as Little Red’s father comes to the rescue (sharp-eyed children will notice a calico cat helped, too!).

Loving detail fills each illustration in this unique version. Andrea Wisnewski based her interiors, architecture, and costumes on models found at Old Sturbridge Village, the living-history museum in western Massachusetts. The images, full of period detail, are done in a medium Wisnewski has made her own: black-and-white prints made from intricate papercut designs (the results look much like woodcuts) that are then hand painted in gloriously vivid watercolor.

This is a beautiful, totally original, reimagining of the German fairytale classic and, yes, Little Red does survive the ravenous wolf―moist but intact. A wonderful version of the classic tale, perfect as a read-aloud, a picture book to share.

Little Old Farm Folk

by Andrea Wisnewski

A board book especially for farm and country toddlers.

In sweet pictures and rhyme, we are taken through the daily tasks of running the farm: milking, egg collecting, laundry, woodcutting, and more. The little old man, the little old lady, their cat, their dog, and other familiar farm animals are depicted in Andrea Wisnewski’s charming paper-cut style.

Each quaint vignette contains artistic details that will enthrall children, while the text begs to be read aloud, time and again. An original in the time-honored tradition of children’s books on farm life, Little Old Farm Folk is an endearing little celebration of the rustic way of living. Or as Publishers Weekly called it, “A charmingly old-fashioned trip to the farm.”

Andrea Wisnewski is also the author of Trio: The Tale of a Three-Legged Cat, Little Red Riding Hood, and Andrea Wisnewski Greeting Cards―all published by Godine. Trio was named one of the best picture books of the year by Kirkus Reviews and, of Little Red Riding Hood, School Library Journal said, “The rich colors and thick flowing lines are technically accomplished and lovely. The book’s design suits the content: it is simple and elegant.”

Trio: The Tale of a Three-Legged Cat

by Andrea Wisnewski

“Writing with tenderness and understated humor, Wisnewski portrays disabilities as a simple fact of life―the obstacles that Trio surmounts are less about physical limitation than about learning how to use his body to get where he wants to be.”―Publishers Weekly

One of the Best Children’s Picture Books of the Year―Kirkus Reviews

Meet Trio, the runt of the litter, born with only three legs, but very much the little cat that could. He lives his life as any other kitten would: pouncing, sneaking, and jumping like any other feline. Trio especially loves playing with the eleven chickens that share the garage and garden, and he is game to try all their activities: digging up bugs, rolling in the dust, and even caring for eggs. The latter requires real effort, especially making it up into the nesting box, but once he figures it out he returns to it faithfully every day. And his persistence pays off. One day, an egg starts hatching beneath him. Little does he know, the chick that pops out will be his best friend.

This is a story about diversity, overcoming obstacles, and acceptance. It is a story children will love―and a natural conversation starter with your child about differences.
