Lucia Angela Perez.
In this bilingual Cinderella tale coming from the Hispanic tradition of New Mexico, ArcÃa is mistreated by her stepsisters after her father marries a duplicitous widow. But her kindness is rewarded with a golden star on her forehead--her jealous stepsisters receive instead a donkey's ear and a cow's horn--and ArcÃa wins the prince's heart. The earthy illustrations of the Latino characters glow with a serene dignity.
