Fairy Tale Retellings

A parent might reach for this book when their child, already familiar with classic fairy tales, begins to question the logic or fairness of the original stories. This collection of chapter-length retellings takes beloved tales like Cinderella and Rapunzel and gives them clever, modern twists. It's not about making them darker, but about exploring new perspectives: What if the wolf wasn't big and bad, but just misunderstood? What if the princess could rescue herself? These stories champion resilience, empathy, and self-confidence, making them perfect for children aged 7-10 who are ready for more complex characters and motivations. It’s an excellent choice for nurturing critical thinking and showing that there is always more than one side to a story.
