Cendrillon: A Caribbean Cinderella

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Pinkney. This lively adaptation is based on a French Creole version of Perrault's familiar tale. Choosing Cendrillon's godmother (a lonely old washerwoman) as narrator provides a fine rationale for the intimate yet traditional storytelling tone that San Souci adopts here. Pinkney's signature multimedia art glows with the richly saturated colors of the Caribbean. This vital, assured "Cinderella" deserves a place in every library.
