About Alina Manolache
Squirrel life at Grandma’s house in the forest clearing is cozy, serene, and pretty uneventful, so why don’t we get our capes and set out on a fruit hunt?!
Together with Grandma, Red embarks on a spirited adventure. Along the way she eats delicious blueberries, helps a blue jay build her nest, and befriends a pack of wolves (yes, you read that right, not one wolf but a pack).
In this book inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, lively illustrations reminiscent of watercolor are woven with the right amount of text to tell a captivating and touching story about playfulness, compassion, and making friends.
Psst, I’ll let you in on a secret. There are 32 butterflies spread throughout the illustrations of this book, can you find them all?

After spending a decade building a career in an unrelated field, Alina decided to leave it all behind and pursue her dream of becoming a children’s book illustrator, hoping to spread joy and positivity to younger and older readers alike.
Since a traditional art education was out of reach, Alina relied on her self-drive to develop the abilities needed to express on the page the feelings and stories she dreamed of sharing with others.
Alina’s love for fairy tales, watercolor painting, and animals is readily apparent in her first book “Little Red is making friends”, which she wrote, illustrated, and self published.
In her debut work, the visually stunning illustrations combined with her storytelling evoke undeniable feelings of joy and compassion.
Alina brings ideas to life from her home in Romania where she lives with her husband, and if she’s not writing or illustrating, she’s reading mystery and fantasy novels.
