The Fearsome Wolf lives hidden among us.Would you like to help Little Red Riding Hood?
This book tells the simple yet profound story of a girl facing a problem and ultimately finding the support she needs to overcome it. The authors skillfully use the timeless archetype of the big bad wolf, employing a classic narrative structure woven from real phrases spoken by children the authors have assisted. It refrains from offering explicit instructions or moral lessons, and you won't find the term "sexual abuse" explicitly mentioned in its pages.
This story serves as a powerful tool to shed light on a critical issue and, more importantly, to encourage those who may have experienced similar situations to share their stories and seek help. Every child has the fundamental right to grow up in an environment characterized by respect, where their innocence is preserved.
This fairy tale goes to the heart of so many wounded and silenced girls and boys, it encourages them to speak: it is time to tell their stories, to look for those who will listen to them.
It reminds us that hope accompanies us even in the worst moments, bringing a ray of light to that dark forest; It shows us that there is a path to finish that pain and towards freedom.
