(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gloria Osuna Perez & Lucia Angela Perez. In this bilingual Cinderella tale coming from the Hispanic tradition of New Mexico, Arcía 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 Arcía wins the prince's heart. The earthy illustrations of the Latino characters glow with a serene dignity.
