I made a quilt featuring an African American Cinderella sitting on the steps of the palace with her bare feet extended. The words on the quilt said "Let's cut to the chase... I wear size 9!"

It's a collection of original poems in which different characters from the Cinderella story speak to readers.<BR/>Titles of poems include Stepmother's Rhythm, The Prince Grumbles, The Rat's Ride, and The Stepsisters' Reprise.<BR/><BR/>I like the two poems you shared today. I always shared them with my second grade students when we were reading different versions of the Cinderella tale. One of my favorite versions is Judy Sierra's THE GIFT OF THE CROCODILE.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.com
