“The true story of Little Red Riding Hood” is one of the best-known traditional stories that is incorporated into the Makakiños collection, where there are also author's stories adapted to the pictogram system, along with the Día a día series, made up of support guides that They facilitate autonomy and intercommunication with the environment.
This pioneering initiative promoted by the BATA Association and KALANDRAKA allows reading to be brought closer to people with educational support needs and makes the world of fantasy understandable to them, helping to break the barriers of lack of communication.
This version of Little Red Riding Hood made by Antonio Rodríguez Almodóvar after a long investigation into the numerous variants of the story, has been adjusted for easier reading, reducing the abstraction of the language.
The surprising and avant-garde illustrations by Marc Taeger stand out, with a rustic style, contrasting chromaticism and great expressiveness: the different figures of Little Red Riding Hood look like scribbles made by children's hands and the wolf is reminiscent of Picasso.
In addition to text and images, reading is supported by the SPC pictogram language, a communication system based on drawings and colors.
