My favorite thing about this book is the illustrations- vivid full-page watercolors that pull you into the story. I remembered the illustrations from reading the book as a child before I could remember the title or the storyline. Beautiful large illustrated picture books are my favorite kind of children’s book, and this one is complemented by a sweet story, sort of a Cinderella remake, but better. This Cinderella is exonerated by her hard work and intelligence. Her goal is not to marry a prince, but to prove her love to her estranged Father.
