Although this book is short, it is a beautiful, twisted retelling of the classic Cinderella story. I read this as a child, not knowing what foot binding was and how atrocious a practice it was. This book really makes you feel for this free-spirited girl who wants nothing to do with these customs and traditions.
If you're looking for a quick read, or you want to teach and discuss with your children about these sorts of practices, this is something I would highly recommend.
