"An ageless tale about family helping family, flavored with
regional food, wildlife, and drama. The Carolinas' state symbols,
maps, cookbook magic (try the peach pie), and one tricky alligator
our heroine, Blossom, must outwit make this book special indeed.
And the art? As fresh and beautiful as a Carolina sunrise."--Tom
Poland
"Lisa Anne Cullen's folk art and folk wisdom combine in a
delightful retelling of a classic tale, Carolina-style. Young
readers will love the highly detailed illustrations, will learn
some fun Carolina facts, and can even cook up some local recipes
included in the back."--Edward Bloor, author of Tangerine
"Little Orange Honey Hood is a wonderful retelling of Little Red
Riding Hood with a Carolina twist. Cullen's collages pull you into
the South Carolina low country setting. Her language is as lush as
the swampy trail leading to Grandma's house. At the end of the
story she provides interesting information about North and South
Carolina's state symbols. The special recipes that include deep
fried gator nuggets, are an added treat. Cullen's gifts as a story
teller and artist are evident in this delightful book that children
will return to time and time again."--Joyce Hansen, author of I
Thought My Soul Would Rise and Fly
"Mix an orange traveling cloak, a basket of goodies and a trail
through the swamp to Grandma's house, and you have a classic fairy
tale -- retold with a Southern drawl. Cheer along as Blossom routs
the wily creature hiding in Grandma's bed and saves the day.
Deep-fried gator nuggets, anyone?"--Lucy Nolan, author of the
award-winning Down Girl and Sit series of chapter books
"This beautifully illustrated tale is a wonderful reimagining of
Little Red Riding Hood. The detailed, poetic descriptions
throughout evoke a clear and specific sense of place. Reading
Little Orange Honey Hood is like experiencing a golden ray of
Carolina sunshine."--Frank Anderson, executive editor, Houghton
Mifflin Harcourt
"Beautifully written and illustrated with exquisite cut-paper
collage, Little Orange Honey Hood is as bright as a summer morning
and as sweet as orange blossom honey. But you must read it aloud
because the telling is the best part. Tart-sweet, just like the
peach pie Blossom is bringing to Grandma."--Eric Kimmel, author of
Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock, Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins,
and other stories.
