Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well composed
Review: Although the retelling of story is not be perfectly authentic, the story flows well and and the illustrations are of good quality. It does contain some culturally accurate information and would be an excellent addition to a tasteful collecter's children's library.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book that has haunted me for years!!
Review: I am so excited to have found this book! I am 21 years old and my mother read this book to me once long ago when I was little. It has haunted me ever since that time over the years and I have wanted to find it again. I only was able to hear the story once and never again because my Mom bought it for children at a powwow and gave it to them. I am so glad I will have it again. I plan to read it once more and than give it to children at the school I'm teaching at so they can enjoy it, too. A great message and a lovely story! I would recommend it for girls between 4-10 years of age.

Summary: A Great Book!
Review: Sorry, but there are no cinderella's in the native world. Not in the way this story is portrayed.

This is just one of several theme repeats the author is doing to make money. It is not representative of natives, and especially the Ojibwa.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Book
Review: This book was a good Traditional tale. The pictures depicted the story clearly. My daughter enjoys the story and told me that it reminded her of Cinderella.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Aboringinal Education
Review: This is a great story for comparing all the "Cinderella" cultures in the world. It also leads to a wonderful teaching unit on Aboringinal customs and their way of life.

Used extensively in primary grades.
