A Caldecott Honor–winning author–illustrator team brings us a Caribbean Cinderella story, told from the perspective of the magical godmother.

You may think you already know this story about a beautiful servant girl, a cruel stepmother, a magnificent ball, and a lost slipper. But you’ve never heard it for true.

Now you can hear the tale from someone who was there: a poor washerwoman from the island of Martinique. She has just one thing in the world to love, her goddaughter Cendrillon. When she finds Cendrillon heartsick over a rich man’s son, at first she doesn’t know what to do. But she has sharp wits, a strong will, and the magic wand her mother left her—and soon she has a plan to give her dear Cendrillon the gift of a love that will change her life.

Adapted from a traditional Creole story, this fresh retelling captures all the age-old romance and magic of Cinderella, melding it with the vivid beauty of the Caribbean and the musical language of the islands.

My daughter loves this book

Reviewed in Canada on December 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

My daughter loves this book; she keeps asking me tons of questions about it since she has also watched the most common version of the story. So this is for me an opportunity to also teach her about black history and creole. I can feel that she truly connects with the protagonist.

Cendrillon "looks like me"

Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2003

I quite enjoyed this Caribbean version of Cinderella. As a white parent of a Haitian child, I found this story to remind my daughter of the country in which she was born. The illustrations and the language all contribute to a new perspective on a familiar story that engages the reader completely. We quite enjoyed seeing a "familiar" fairy tale re-told with a "new" heroine. My daughter quite enjoyed seeing a Cendrillon that "looks like me."

Authentically told with lots of little ‘Caribbeanisms’ for lack of a better word lol: the language style reminds me of my st lucian grandmother. Captivating illustrations

I received this with markings like food stains on it and rough edges. The edges could be caused by the shipping but what’s the excuse for the stains smh I was however convinced to let it go don’t return just wipe it… the book was great, love the break down of the French words

The book is great however the age and reading level is not appropriate for my granddaughter who is a toddler at this time. I'll reorder it at another time. Thank you.

With a sense of humor and a bit of sarcasm San Souci brings to life this....

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2007

Verified Purchase

Author, Robert D. San Souci uses a touch of sarcasm in his voice as he retells this Caribbean version of Cinderella. The sarcasm adds an element of humor and makes this rendition more appealing to young readers. Teachers and readers can use an index in the back of the book to explain the Creole words in the story. The large number of Creole words helps to authenticate this story. There are many similarities between the Caribbean version of Cinderella and Disney's. The nanny uses a magical wand to change a breadfruit into a gilded coach. The breadfruit resembles a small pumpkin except for the fact that the breadfruit grows on a tree instead of a vine. The only main differences between this retelling of Cinderella is that there is only one stepsister,the glass slipper is a pink embroidered slipper, and the godmother is a wacky nanny with a sense of humor. The illustrator uses scratchboard, luma dyes, goache, and oil paints to create these magical illustrations for this wonderful picture book. By Jill Griffin 6 10, 2007

Lovely book and great way to showcase traditional Caribbean culture

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Bought 3 copies for my 3 nieces. They are very young (1-2 years) so no direct feedback from them but I think that it is a really lovely book and has a few French words in there too which is nice and a glossary at the back explaining the French/Patois words. My sister noted that children in this day and age perhaps won't be impressed with Cinderella's dress for the ball but I suppose that can open up a conversation with your child about traditional Caribbean dress.
