About this title

Synopsis

Featuring a new foreword by Caldecott Medalist Jason Chin, this beloved fairytale is now available in a handsomely produced 40th anniversary edition.

“Everything in this book is vital and alive. Open it up and drink it in.” —Jason Chin, illustrator of Caldecott-winning book Watercress

When it was first published 40 years ago, Trina Schart Hyman’s retelling of Little Red Riding Hood created a sensation for its cozily detailed, romantic, and mysterious illustrations of one of childhood’s most popular stories. Since then, this Caldecott Honor book has become one of the best-loved editions of the tale, delighting generations with its wonderfully alive paintings.

Jason Chin shares a heartfelt tribute to his mentor, Trina Schart Hyman, and her artistic legacy. Newly designed endpapers, foil stamped cover, and debossed case reminiscent of the original cloth cover makes this a treasured gift to share.

Trina Schart Hyman (1939 - 2004) received one Caldecott Medal and three Caldecott Honors during her distinguished career. From the age of four she knew that she would become an illustrator.

Born in Philadelphia, she lived most of her life in New Hampshire.
