Cinderella

- Reading
- Read together and pause to notice the illustrations; invite your child to describe what they see before discussing which familiar story elements they recognise.
- Themes
- A Cinderella tale reimagined in Mexico: The story is described as a Mexican take on Cinderella, illustrated by Mexican artist Sandra Equihua, while retaining Cinderella, a fairy godmother and a glass slipper. The setting and artwork offer a different frame for a familiar tale, but the details and meaning of that cultural reimagining are unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes Cinderella’s stepmother and two stepsisters, alongside a fairy godmother and glass slipper; how their actions are depicted is not clear.
