Description

Glen Goei turns the tables on the original fairy tale and writes about a little girl who falls sick and her grandmother sets out to visit her. But this is not your normal grandmother—it is a Singaporean grandmother, feisty and strong, equipped with government-sponsored lifelong learning skills, like kickboxing! Together, Little Red and Grandma will charm you with this role reversal story.

Praise:
“Western fairytales get a fun Singaporean spin in these illustrated retellings—Glen Goei's Little Red in the Hood inverts the Little Red Riding Hood trope, for example, and instead of a girl visiting her sick grandmother, the heroine has a kickboxing Grandma Rambo.”
—Akshita Nanda, The Sunday Times

“[T]he quirky plot development is quite unexpected and original. I also enjoyed the illustrations by local artist Drewscape, which complement the irreverent writing perfectly with feisty, expressive characters and scenes that tread the fine line between being recognisably local and having international appeal.”
—Eileen, Picture This Book
