This captivating retelling of Cinderella is a perfect introduction to the fairy tale for children, as well as a glimpse into the history, culture, and geography of the African nation of Zimbabwe. Inspired by a traditional African folktale, the story revolves around Mufaro, a proud father of two beautiful daughters. Nyasha, the older daughter, is kind and considerate, while Manyara, the younger daughter, is known for her selfishness and bad temper.

When the Great King announces his intention to take a wife and invites the most worthy and beautiful daughters in the land to present themselves before him, Mufaro brings both of his daughters to the palace. However, he knows that only one can become the queen. The question remains: who will the king choose?

Award-winning artist John Steptoe's vibrant and intricate illustrations bring the African landscape to life, earning him the prestigious Coretta Scott King Award for Mufaros Beautiful Daughters. The book also received the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, further cementing its status as a timeless treasure that will be cherished by readers for generations to come.
