Cinderella's Secret Slipper by Award winning author, Alinka Rutkowska
I just read the most delightful book, and wanted to share my review with you all. This is a sweet book that will ring a lot of joy and smiles to all that read this great story. Check out my review below:
A delightful story that will enchant the little ones in your life! Award-winning author, Alinka Rutkowska has turned a classic story into a new classic with a modern twist. Brilliant idea on the author's part. The number one thing that resonates well with me with this story: It teaches the benefit of having a forgiving heart. Great way to teach kids that even when they make a mistake, one can find a safe solution. It is not necessary to use violence when kids do foolish things. Lastly, the story teaches about family love, which has become a lost commodity in today's world.
