About the Book

Little Red Meets the Three Little Pigs is a combination of the fairy tales Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. It is a modern-day version of Little Red, and the characters are African Americans living in Luling, Louisiana, before Hurricane Katrina. Little Red is going to see her grandmother, Mawamaw Brown, in the nearby woods to show her how beautiful her sparkling red hoodie is. She is warned by her mother, Mrs. Red, to stay on the path and not talk to strangers because there’s a Gray Wolf lurking in the woods. Mr. Blue’s three pigs—Monty, Bobby, and Danny—have outgrown their tiny trailer, and they are on the path to building their own houses. Mr. Blue warned them of the Gray Wolf and to build their house sturdy and strong. Little Red and the three little pigs encounter the Gray Wolf on their journey. This story will leave the reader wondering what happens next.
