Little Red Riding Hood and the Dragon

In 'Little Red Riding Hood and the Dragon,' Ying Chang Compestine reimagines the classic fairy tale from a Chinese perspective, infusing it with action, humor, and stunning illustrations by Joy Ang. This version of the story features Little Red, living near the Great Wall, training in kung fu, and encountering a fearsome dragon instead of a wolf on her way to her grandmother’s house. The book also includes elements of Chinese mythology, symbolism, traditional medicine, all integral to Compestine’s heritage. An author’s note discusses further the influence of Chinese culture on this vibrant retelling.
