Cinderella: An Islamic Tale by Fawzia Gilani, illustrated by Shireen Adams. PICTURE BOOK. The Islamic Foundation, 2010. $14. 9780860374732
BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Zahra’s father has remarried - a woman with two daughters. When Zahra’s father also dies, the money disappears and Zahra becomes the servant and even loses her own name, being now called Cinderella.
Gilani has created another retold tale using Muslom traditions. I love that the illustrations, language, and much of the actions reflect the culture. Skillfully done, add this to either your fairy tales collection or next to your Islam religion books.
