Bethan Woollvin (@bethanwoollvin) shares BO THE BRAVE, a new picture book about a young princess on the hunt for monsters. All of Bethan's picture books up to this point have been retellings of well-known fairy tales, but with a twist. LITTLE RED featured an empowered child unwilling to be bested by the wolf. RAPUNZEL refused to be confined by fear in the witch's tower. HANSEL & GRETEL has wicked children who tease a witch unrelentingly, and they get what's coming to them. Bethan's newest picture book is an original fairy tale and it centers on Bo, a young princess who yearns to be invited along on her brothers' quest for monsters. When Bo sets out on her own, she discovers that monsters are, quite unjustly, what we make them out to be. And from that point forward, Bo seeks to see the individuals she encounters as who they are, not what the stories say they should be.
