A parent would reach for this book when their child is feeling isolated within a family dynamic or needs to see how inner creativity can serve as a shield against a difficult reality. This gentle historical retelling of Cinderella focuses less on the magic of a fairy godmother and more on the protagonist's internal resilience and her talent for storytelling. Set in a medieval-inspired world, it explores themes of emotional neglect and the power of hope in a way that feels safe yet deeply resonant for children ages 8 to 12. It is a perfect choice for encouraging a child to find their own voice and value, even when they feel overlooked by those around them.
