Summary: neat book
Review: The Gospel Cinderella is a legend that in many ways resembles the classic fairy tale Cinderella.
Queen Mother Rhythm leader of the great gospel choir has a daughter. She is singing the baby to sleep by the river and a hurricane comes up and sends the baby down the river. The mother searches everywhere but can find the baby. The baby is found by Crooked Foster Mother who has 2 kids of her own. She takes the baby in and names her Cinderella because she so dirty. As Cinderella grows she is made to do all the cooking and cleaning in the home. She is mistreated. As years go by Queen Mother Rhythm holds a searches for a new leader for the Great Gospel Choir. Cinderella sneaks her way into the contest but leaves before anyone knows it's her. The prince goes on a search and find her and they lead the choir together and live happily ever after.
The book was really neat. My mother and I read all sort of versions of Cinderella and enjoy comparing the story to the fairy tale classic.
This book is an excellent addition to your multi cultural children's collection!
