“Cinderella’s Magical Wheelchair” by Jewel Kats (illustrated by Richa Kinra) is a delightful book for children. In this version, Cinderella is in a wheelchair. Does that stop her from going to the ball and winning the heart of the prince? No way! Jewel Kats has given a modern twist to this old tale. Cinderella is in a wheelchair, but that isn’t the focus of the story. The wheelchair is just a part of the story. Cinderella comes across as a strong, independent woman who actually doesn’t need the prince to have a sense of worth.
I think that this would be a fun story enjoyed by all children. Having a disability doesn’t mean that you can’t do things. Being a girl doesn’t mean you need to be saved by the prince. Ms. Kats reminds us all of that!
