People have been telling fairy tales to their children for hundreds of years. And for almost as long, people have been rewriting those fairy tales - to help their children imagine a world where they are the heroes. Karrie and Jon were reading their child these stories when they hit upon a dilemma, something previous versions of these stories were missing, and so they decided to make one vital change. . They haven' t rewritten the stories in this book. They haven' t reimagined endings, or reinvented characters. What they have done is switch all the genders. It might not sound like that much of a change, but you' ll be dazzled by the world this swap creates - and amazed by the new characters you' re about to discover.
