Beneath the Hood
A familiar tale woven with biblical truth
Little Red stands with basket in hand, and the dark forest stretches out before her. She is afraid of what might be in the forest, but the King has given her this path to walk.
Her sister stands beside her to remind Little Red that she is a Child of the King, and she won’t be alone.
Once inside the dark forest, Little Red meets a Wolf with many questions. The Wolf doubts she will finish the King’s errand, but Little Red keeps moving along the path.
Distractions and the Wolf tempt Little Red to step off the path every few steps.
Can she remember who she is to finish the King’s errand?

Beneath the Hood is a richly spiritual take on a familiar tale. There are so many moments in this story to have deeper conversations with your child, and I daresay that adults reading the story might find themselves wiping away a tear as they remember their true identity as well.” Christie Thomas, author of Quinn’s Promise Rock
"Valerie Fentress has created an altogether new story from the classic children's tale Little Red Riding Hood.
