When you love someone a lot, they just look like love.

In the kitchen, in her rags, Cinderella, longs to go to the ball. That is where the familiar story ends. 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.

In her debut children’s book, Rebecca Solnit updates a classic fairy tale with a fresh, feminist take and new plot twists that will inspire young readers to change the world.
