This is a wonderful multicultural take on a classic fairytale. The story takes place in beautiful Africa. The illustrations are colorful, detailed and beautiful. In this classic tale, the curse of the princess is broken in a very unique and imaginative way. Readers will love this story. Parents and teachers alike will be able to use this as a springboard for many lessons and discussions.
I loved the surprise ending. The message is empowering to all young women. The illustrations draw the readers into the story. The colors used in the illustrations are bright and bold. Set in Africa, this sweet fairytale will become a beloved book by many.
