Gold

Ages 5 to 9, Grades K to 3

Gold tests our assumptions of what makes up a family by recasting Goldlilocks as a fractured fairy tale in this ingenious wordless picture book

This wordless picture book plays with our assumptions about family. What do we think we see as we turn the pages and how is the ending not at all what we expected? This fractured retelling of the Goldilocks fairy tale provides a perfect format for thinking about story-telling and how families can be different—and how they are the same. Enjoy a cozy evening with the sweetest family you’ll find between the pages of a book.
