Chaperon Rouge
Most appropriate for ages 10-13
This is an updated version of the traditional French story by Charles Perrault about a little girl who really wants to visit her grandmother, who is not feeling very well. Her mother is very concerned and is baking some cookies. Chaperon Rouge gets her mother to agree to let her visit her grandmother and sets off into the forest, but only after her mother warns her about the wolf.
Enhance your kit with the following extras:
Manigan is a gentle giant and steward of the Earth who uses his bounty to aid those in need. He helps a couple of people who unfortunately take advantage of his kindness and eat up his stores of food. When the giant becomes weak, the couple realize that they have to give back to the one who has given them so much and they nurture Manigan back to health. This tale, which evokes First Nations wisdom, is a parable that reminds us of the need to treat our world with respect, and not just as something to be viewed as a resource for human consumption.
