The little red round chap tells of his trials and tribulations as a child chubbier, more rotund than the rest, shyer and more often mocked by all the other farmyard animals… that is, until the day he became widely admired! A funny, ingenious, and tender fable featuring hens, a wolf, and Little Red Riding Hood all and to deftly tackle the matter of differences between people in a way accessible to young readers. Vanessa Hié adores drawing animals. Her pictures and Claude Marie’s pretty words are beautiful and moving. A sweet, appealing picture book.
