'A hilarious and exuberant retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, in which a brave, little red pencil finds her way through the many perils of writing a story, faces a ravenous pencil sharpener (the Wolf 3000)... and saves the day'...

Miss Clara and Barefoot Books
French illustrator Claire Guiral, a.k.a. Miss Clara, has created three sumptuous books for the award-winning publisher Barefoot Books: 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses', 'The Snow Queen' and 'The Princess and The Pea', all exquisitely illustrated in Miss Clara's inimitable style using 3D characters, paper set design and then digitally blended. These delightful books are beautifully produced, lovely to handle and a joy to read. An added bonus is the audio CD which comes along with each of them. In the video below, she talks about her collaboration with Barefoot Books....
