Instead of waiting to be rescued, Cinderella learns that she can save herself and those around her by being true to herself and standing up for what she believes. &“Being a princess is absolutely fine if that&’s what you choose. It&’s having those choices taken away from you that make for big problems. Cinderella in Solnit&’s book is given that choice. She&’s allowed to say what her dreams are, and then she goes out and attains them. And they&’re not huge ridiculous dreams but small, happy, manageable ones. Ultimately, that&’s the gift Ms. Solnit is giving kids with this book.&” —School Library Journal &“This is a reminder of hope and possibility, of kindness and compassion, and—perhaps most salient—imagination and liberty.
