Little Red Wolf
Jessie Lehson, 2024, digital media
Red wolves are critically endangered with just a small population remaining in the wild. “Little Red Wolf” turns “Little Red Riding Hood” on it’s head and considers who the real villain is. Little wolf is taking food to her grandmother. Wolves are one of the few species that will feed and protect injured and elderly pack members. But to get there she must journey through the woods and try to avoid the hunter. (Who does not save the day in this story…)

Slumbering moths. Sleeping salamanders. Curious fireflies. Leafy pajamas. Don’t rake up the leaves in autumn, because underneath them is a whole other world! Explore this crucial ecosystem and learn why it’s so important to LEAVE THE LEAVES.
