For this week’s Staff Pick Book Review, Library Clerk Sarah reviews Yeh-Shen: A Cinderella Story from China, written by Ai-Ling Lui and illustrated by Ed Young: “A book from my childhood, this heart-wrenching and intriguing story was originally written during the T’ang Dynasty of China. This book is written by Ai-Ling Louie. I found myself hoping that Yen-Shen can find a way to leave her stepmother and sister for a better life. She was truly a Cinderella before Cinderella came to be.”
