I love Bridget's illustrations I have 4 up in my house together with the book Little Red. The interview is extremely though provoking the way Bridget clearly sees and the language she uses in how humans use animals for their own means and how from a young age children are influenced by the stories and rhymes they read Red Riding being a true example. We need to address this negative narrative and Bridget has achieved this we need more Bridget's in this world. Thank you for this interview. Good luck with your studies Bridget.

Really loved what Bridget said about rethinking the story's foundations, from the language she used to the plot's structure, and how her new framing of a classic story can influence the way readers view animals in the real world. Can't wait to check out the book!

What a wonderful interview. I have this book and Bridget certainly achieves what she sets to do very beautifully. I have re-read the book lots of times and the drawings are exquisite!

What a great idea!! It's true when animals, people are portrayed visually it sticks in our minds. Very uplifting!
