In 2018, I wrote an essay for the Horn Book about my experience having created a photo series with my then-five-year-old daughter, Apple, after she asked me, “Mama, why are most of the people in my fairy tales white?” I spent the following year photographing her in the lead roles of several well-known fairy tales, including “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” and “Beauty and the Beast.”
