Description
A Caribbean Cinderella story like no other, told from the perspective of Cendrillon's magical godmother. This Caldecott Honor-winning tale brings together romance and magic in a fresh retelling that captures the beauty of the Caribbean. When Cendrillon's heart is broken over a rich man's son, her poor but wise godmother must use all her sharp wits and strong will to help her dear goddaughter find true love. With the magic wand left by her mother, she sets out to give Cendrillon the gift of a love that will change her life. Adapted from a traditional Creole story, this enchanting retelling combines age-old romance with the vibrant culture and musical language of the Caribbean islands.
