Glass Slipper Gold Sandal by Paul Fleischman, illustrated by Julie Paschkis

From chapters.ca:
Once upon a time, in Mexico...in Ireland...in Zimbabwe...there lived a girl who worked all day in the rice fields...then spent the night by the hearth, sleeping among the cinders. Her name is Ashpet, Sootface, Cendrillon...Cinderella. Her story has been passed down the centuries and across continents. Now Paul Fleischman and Julie Paschkis craft its many versions into one hymn to the rich variety and the enduring constants of our cultures.
