One sleepless night, a little girl asks her father to tell her the story of Little Red Riding Hood. There’s just one problem: he can barely remember it. As he struggles to reconstruct the tale, familiar characters from different classics begin to invade the narrative. Little Red Riding Hood follows the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, encounters a frog prince, crosses paths with witches, magicians, and other fairy-tale figures, and finds herself at the center of a wildly unexpected adventure.
Written by Flavio de Souza, acclaimed Brazilian author, playwright, screenwriter, and creator of landmark television series such as Castle Rá-Tim-Bum and The Moon World, Sleeping Little Red Riding Hood in Wonderland is a playful celebration of storytelling itself. Winner of the Jabuti Award for Best Children’s Book, Brazil’s most prestigious literary prize, the book transforms well-known fairy tales into a clever parody that explores creativity, imagination, and the joy of reinventing classic narratives.
Jótah’s illustrations enhance the story’s humor and energy, bringing together characters from different fictional universes in vibrant and expressive scenes. As the father gradually evolves from a forgetful storyteller into a true creator of stories, text and image work together to blur the boundaries between fantasy, dreams, and reality. Filled with literary references and surprising twists, Sleeping Little Red Riding Hood in Wonderland offers a highly engaging reading experience that rewards readers familiar with classic tales while remaining accessible and entertaining for newcomers.
