Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In this Algonquin Indian version of the Cinderella story, two domineering sisters set out to marry the ``rich, powerful, and supposedly handsome'' Invisible Being, first having to prove that they can see him. They cannot, but their mistreated younger sister the Rough-Face Girl--so called because the sparks from the fire have scarred her skin--can, for she sees his ``sweet yet awesome face'' all around her. He then appears to her, reveals her true hidden beauty and marries her. Shannon ( How Many Spots Does a Leopard Have? ) paints powerful, stylized figures and stirring landscapes, heightening their impact with varied use of mist, shadows and darkness. His meticulous research is evident in intricate details of native dress and lodging. In places, though, he struggles with the paradox of illustrating the invisible--an eagle, tree, cloud and rainbow form the face of the Invisible Being in one disappointingly banal image. For the most part, however, the drama of these haunting illustrations--and of Martin's ( Foolish Rabbit's Big Mistake ) respectful retelling--produce an affecting work. Ages 4-8. (Apr.)
From The Critics
In this Algonquin Indian tale, the Rough-Face Girl is scarred from years of tending the fire for her family. She is mistreated by her sisters, who go on a journey to find and marry the Invisible Being. The Rough-Face Girl desires to meet this mysterious power and decides to embark on her own search. When she meets up with the sister of the Invisible Being, she is put through a test. After she answers all of the questions correctly, she bathes in the lake. While in the water, her scars vanish and she ends up marrying the Invisible Being. Magnificent paintings and moving prose perfectly capture the beauty of the natural world in this Native American version of Cinderella.

    Great Story!

    This is a great story. I use this is my classroom as a compare and contrast writing activity with Cinderella. In this Native American version, the Rough-Face Girl and her sisters compete for the affections of the Invisible Being. Where her sisters fail, the Rough-Face Girls beauty shines through. The artwork is also beautiful.

    Such a great book!!

    This was one of my all time favorite picture books growing up. It's about a native american girl whos face had been scarred from fire and ashes. With the help of the mother spirit thing (it's been a while...) she's able to marry the son of the chief (prince). Its such a beutiful story and I absolutely love it!

    My All-The-Time Favorite Storyteller!

    This is my all-the-time favorite storyteller because it is like from the story in Cinderella. However, it is very much different and unique to tell about the poor Rough-Face Girl. Something is so special about the poor Rough-Face Girl whom she met the mysterious man who saw her something differently than her two snobbish, meanest sisters. That storyteller really excites me every time I read, and even I read to my niece and students!!! They love it very much as I do! I still keep the book since I was in high school :)

    'All about the Rough Face Girl '

    I read this great book! I like it because it has a good lesson that says just because you arn't the prettiest, and the richest you can still be very kind and nice to others.Read this different Cinderella book to find out what happens in this story.
