Excellent,
By
This review is from: Cinderella (Jump at the Sun Fairytale Classics) (Paperback)
This is a lovely story that is appropriate for all ages. My girls loved it. It is nice to have fantasy books that feature black girls. I was tired of all their books either having pictures of white children or being about being proud of being black. Sometimes they just want to read a fun fairy tale that happens to feature brown faces. My kids are two and four...not ready to be in the struggle just yet.

Jump at the Sun:Cinderella,
By Devette Douglas (ft collins, colorado United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cinderella (Jump at the Sun Fairytale Classics) (Paperback)
This is one of my favorites of this book series because it makes the whole princess stage that all little girls go through accessible to little girls of color. My four year old loves seeing that a princess can look like her. I was thrilled to find this book.

Finally!,
By Clay McCall (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cinderella (Jump at the Sun Fairytale Classics) (Paperback)
Jump at the Sun is filling a WIDE gap in the market with these classic fairy-tales by satisfying some of the long-unmet interests of African-descent populations. Our American culture is FLOODED with images (photographed or drawn) of European-descent individuals that imply the following message: "This is how beauty is defined." Think about it: when is the last time you have seen a truly dark-skinned, thick-lipped individual whom the mainstream media or Hollywood have boldly declared as beautiful, or even attractive?
It is, indeed, good to open up this beautifully illustrated adaptation of Cinderella with my two little princesses, and help shape their concept of beauty, affirm their sense of self-esteem, and build upon their positive self-image. We've had the book for a couple of years now, and they still enjoy reading it (and looking at the illustrations!).
