The writing blends various elements from Cinderella stories from twenty countries and places to create a tale full of culture-specific images and perspectives. The book illustrates the diversity in people’s lives, which is continuously connected through our similarities and differences. The book is appropriate to use as a hook supporting delivery of a social studies curriculum, and to introduce social studies concepts in third and fourth grade classrooms.
