"It doesn't matter what you look like… It's who you are that counts."
—The Fairy Godmother from "Cinderella Spinderella"

The classic story of Cinderella has been modernized and urbanized in this beautifully illustrated edition, written with delightful humor and a surprising twist.

Mark Binder’s Cinderella Spinderella began its life as a spoken-word story told to very different audiences— groups of inner city youngsters and their parents and campers with severe physical disabilities.

This is Cinderella who powerfully chooses her identity!
