The Disney universe… otherwise
What if Cinderella had never tried the glass slipper? This is the purpose of the Disney book Oser ses rêves, a twisted tale written by Elizabeth Lim and illustrated by Laurent Laget. The characters are the same and so is the plot. Except for one detail. In this tale Cinderella decides to take her destiny into her own hands. She decides not to wait for Prince Henry to reach her to make her try on the glass slipper and therefore become his princess. Cinderella runs away from the home of her evil stepmother, Lady Tremaine, and becomes the seamstress of the king's sister. However, nothing will happen as she would have liked within the castle. This new version of Cinderella's tale breathes new life into the Disney classic. Cinderella is no longer a spectator of her own life but an actress. Prince Charming does not come to deliver her from the clutches of Lady Tremain and her daughters, Javote and Anastasia. But Cinderella herself does it. A version that aligns itself with today's societal demands: the emancipation of women being a major part of it. Pure and eternal love is no longer the center of the plot, implying that a woman does not need a man and his love to move forward in her life. Which is true. This book is an excellent way to awaken the consciences of the little ones, while raising their awareness on these themes. And what could be better than doing it in a fun way? Daring your dreams, a twisted tale by Elizabeth Lim will be released on October 28th for €16.90! To your lists, Christmas is coming!
