Little Red AND Rapunzel by Bethan Woollvin
I love fairy tales. But I don't always love the way they are retold. However, Little Red and Rapunzel, written and illustrated by Bethan Woollvin are the right combination of striking illustrations and an dash of girl power!

She makes a plan and heads inside. We see Little Red with an axe in her hand and, on the final page, we see her heading home, a fur coat having replaced her red cloak. While this is a nice turn to a familiar story, it is Woollvin's monochromatic, print-like illustrations and creative perspectives that make Little Red the gem that it is, with one potential loose end - Grandma is not seen again. . .

When the witch discovers she has been leaving the tower, Rapunzel is ready with a big pair of scissors and a ladder made of vines. As she heads off into the woods, the (presumably dead) witch's feet and a pile of golden hair sticking out from behind the tower, she dons a disguise. The wanted posters for local witches tacked to a tree in the foreground, giving readers a clue as to Rapunzel's new career path.
While I love both books, I especially loved the clever twist Woollvin brought to Rapunzel. I can't wait to see which fairy tale she brings her marvelous illustration style and enchanting perspective to next!
