A review by sjklass
Cinderella Liberator by Rebecca Solnit
4.0
Formatted like a picture book but with much more text. Fun enough for a read-aloud to younger kids (with a fairy godmother, mice, lizards and pies) and substance enough for older kids / adults to enjoy too.
Referring to the stepsisters - “they weren’t very happy because they were worried that someone might have higher hair or more bows that they did. Which, probably, someone did. Usually someone does.” And this passage that follows is such a good message. “But there isn’t actually a most beautiful person in the world, because there are so many kinds of beauty. Some people love roundness and softness and other people love sharp edges and strong muscles. Some people like thick hair like a lion’s mane, and other people like thin hair that pours down like a waterfall, and some people love someone so much they forget what they look like. Some people think the night sky full of stars at midnight is the most beautiful thing imaginable, some people think it’s a forest in snow, and some people....Well, there are a lot of people with a lot of ideas about beauty. And love. When you love someone a lot, they just look like love.” 💖
