I also received a signed finished copy at ALA Midwinter 2020. "15 favorite fairytales retold with girl power" Murrow takes a LOT of creative license here, and the results are spectacular. (This is "partially-read" because I was reading them aloud to my 4yo and they're really more suited to grade school - or even middle school or older, if they're studying fairy tale and myth retellings.) See also: Cinderella, Liberator by Rebecca Solnit This beautiful looking book holds some radical retelling of beloved fairy tales. Since my favorite fairy tale and princess is the Little Mermaid, Vita Murrow's retelling hit me the hardest. First of all the Little Mermaid is now a young woman of color. Then her adventures finds her meeting what they call a land princess. No prince in this story! Their cross-cultural exchange is sweet, including how they get the Little Mermaid's grandmother involved. My next favorite is Beauty and the Beast. This retelling does not eliminate the love story between the two, but it does reframe it in a manner that is more feminist than anything Disney has offered us. It also amplifies the strength of Belle that we see in other versions of the tale. And seriously, this book is beautiful. The cover is red cloth with gold embossing. It feels so nice and will look great on your bookcase. Disclaimer: I received this book from a publisher in exchange for an honest review. When I read the blurb for this book, I wanted to read it right away. I love fairytale retellings, especially when they show a non-traditional heroine/princess. This book had a great premise, but I had mixed feelings as I read it. The stories were of varying lengths and the illustrations were cute, but the vocabulary and some of the messages/morals were a bit hard for younger children to understand. Also the amount of text on the page makes it difficult to hold the attention of young children. The stories also vary how close they are to the original tale. Some follow relatively closely, some just in the name of the main character and the very basic plot. I loved Belle the Brave as well as Sleeping Beauty. I can see this book be very useful to read to children around the age of 7 or above. A non-traditional bedtime book with one story being read each evening. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
What if princesses didn't always marry Prince Charming and live happily every after? This stunning anthology features 15 favorite fairytales retold for a new generation. From Sleeping Beauty who becomes a world-famous sleep disorder specialist to Cinderella who goes on to become Prime Minister to Little Red Riding Hood, the environmentalist and Princess of the Wolves, these princesses are smart, funny, and kind, and can do anything they set their minds to. Retold to create positive role models for children, these feisty, funny fairytales focus on issues such as self-image, confidence, LGBTQ, friendship, advocacy, and disability, teaching that a princess is a person who seeks to help others, is open to learning new things, and looks for ways to add purpose to their lives and the lives of those around them.
