Seriously, Cinderella Is SO Annoying! The Story of Cinderella as Told by the Wicked Stepmother

A parent might reach for this book when their child is struggling to see another person's point of view or has come home with a one-sided story about a conflict. This hilarious retelling of Cinderella is told from the perspective of the "wicked" stepmother, who insists she was just a misunderstood, hardworking mom trying to deal with a dramatic, animal-loving, and frankly, lazy stepdaughter. The book offers a funny, lighthearted way to explore themes of fairness, frustration, and the idea that every story has more than one side. It's a perfect choice for early elementary readers who enjoy fairy tales and humor, providing a gentle entry point into discussions about empathy and perspective-taking.
