Yeh-Shen: A Cinderella Story from China

Told with beauty and grace, this Cinderella story from Ai-Ling Louie is brought vividly to life by Caldecott Medal-winner Ed Young's soft, glowing illustrations. Half-starved and overworked by her stepmother, Yeh-Shen's only friend is a fish with golden eyes. When the stepmother kills the fish for dinner, poor Yeh-Shen is left with only the bones. But the bones are filled with a powerful spirit. When Ye-Shen is forbidden to attend the annual spring Festival, the spirit grants her a gown of azure blue and delicate golden slippers. That night, everyone marvels at the beautiful, mysterious young woman at the ball. "Misty, jewel-like illustrations evoke the mythic past in this Chinese Cinderella story." --Publishers WeeklyBinding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Louie, Ai-LingPublished: 05/07/1996Publisher: Puffin BooksISBN: 9780698113886Pages: 32Weight: 0.26lbsSize: 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.12d
