Industry Reviews

"Another version of the Chinese Cinderella story... Wilson's retelling is clever, as is her chosen title, and reads aloud well... Children will delight in this clever retelling and be dazzled by the truly splendid illustrations." -- School Library Journal "A sophisticated, powerful re-imagining of an often overprettified tale." -- Kirkus Reviews
