Librarianjk recommends The Rough-Face Girl



The Rough-Face Girl
by Rafe Martin

Summary: In this Algonquin Indian version of the Cinderella story, the Rough-Face Girl and her two beautiful but heartless sisters compete for the affections of the Invisible Being.

This is my favorite picture book in the folk tale/fairy tale genre. The illustrations are beautiful along with the story line and moral of the story. I recommend this book for kindergarten to sixth grade, but adults also enjoy reading it!

Interest Level: grades k-3, grades 4-6
Reading Level: grade 6
