„A refreshing take on the story of Cinderella, this Irish-language retelling brings new life to an old classic. Fantastic pictures and playful rhyming text work together brilliantly to tell the tale of Luaithrín bhocht, tormented by her sisters Smaoisín agus Straoisín, as well as by her leasmháthair Camilla, until the prince arrives with the titular glass slipper, transforming Luaithrín’s fate. Full of humour and wit, this is a book that readers will want to return to again and again.“ – KPMG Children’s Books Ireland Awards, Judges‘ Special Award 2023

„Cinderella’s story is told by rhyming verse by Fearghas Mac Lochlainn in this new retelling that children will love.
Each page has a stanza or two, which makes it easier for younger children to read, and for adults to read aloud.
The fairytale is beautifully illustrated by Paddy Donnelly.“- The Sunday Times

„A modern, humorous rhyming twist on the age old classic, Cinderella.“ – The Bookseller

„Told in verse, the writing cuts to the core of the rags-to-riches story, with Fearghas Mac Lochlainn’s lyrical writing demonstrating expert command of the form. The illustrations are nothing short of astonishing, beautifully spreading across each page with striking character designs and magnificent backgrounds. An incredible book that showcases the very best of Irish language picturebooks.“ – Books Ireland – Ruth Ennis
