Description

"What would the world look like if girls grew up reading fairytales made from the magic they carry inside themselves? Breathtakingly beautiful, is what." -- Lidia Yuknavich, national bestselling author

In her debut children's book, Rebecca Solnit reimagines a classic fairytale with a fresh, feminist Cinderella and new plot twists that will inspire young readers to change the world, featuring gorgeous silhouettes from Arthur Rackham on each page.

In this modern twist on the classic story, Cinderella, who would rather just be Ella, meets her fairy godmother, goes to a ball, and makes friends with a prince. But that is where the familiar story ends. Instead of waiting to be rescued, Cinderella learns that she can save herself and those around her by being true to herself and standing up for what she believes.

"Being a princess is absolutely fine if that's what you choose. It's having those choices taken away from you that make for big problems. Cinderella in Solnit's book is given that choice. She's allowed to say what her dreams are, and then she goes out and attains them. And they're not huge ridiculous dreams but small, happy, manageable ones. Ultimately, that's the gift Ms. Solnit is giving kids with this book." -- School Library Journal

"This is a reminder of hope and possibility, of kindness and compassion, and -- perhaps most salient -- imagination and liberty. Through the imaginations of our childhoods, can we find our true selves liberated in adulthood?" -- Chelsea Handler

"This is, hands down, a wonderful book -- one that even the jaded reader will clasp upon completion with a contented sigh." -- The New York Times
