Seeing Cinderella

The story feels fresh and heartfelt, but I'm curious what sparked the idea to focus on self-discovery within this classic fairy tale.

The way magic was woven into the story felt seamless, but I wonder if the author intentionally kept it simple for middle-grade readers or had a more elaborate world in mind.

It was inspiring to see her grow more confident, but I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or wanted to send a specific message to young readers.
