It's Not about the Rose!

Fledgling readers are introduced to the joy of independent reading through a series featuring three friends who share stories inspired by classic tales. Each book presents a well-known story, such as Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella, reimagined in short, accessible phrases paired with vibrant illustrations. As one character begins to narrate, the others recall their own versions, creating a layered storytelling experience. Additionally, Veronika Martenova Charles includes notes on the origins of each story, enriching the reading experience with cultural context.
