The Twelve Dancing Princesses


The Twelve Dancing Princesses
Retold & Illustrated By: Rachel Isadora
Genre: Traditional Literature

         I want to share this story with my students because it is a retelling of a Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale set in Africa. I love the creativity in the collage-style illustrations, especially the way that it is used to display a diverse range of African skin tones. This story has been reimagined in many forms, but this has to be one of my favorite styles because of how beautifully it is pieced together.
