Sarah | 70 comments The story has the same Cinderella storyline. There is a big ball and the stepsisters go to the ball and tell her to stay at home. She does end up going in disguise with the beautiful clothing and the prince asks her for a dance. Later she meets the stepsisters there who compliment her (unaware it is her) and she gives them oranges/fruit. The next day when they are home they tell her about a beautiful lady who was there (her) and eat the oranges.

it is a children's picture book and the drawings are vivid and fill up the pages. The dresses had a Asian style but not sure about anything else.

*an Asian version of Cinderella

Becca (beccalikesbooks) | 5528 comments Yeh-Shen: A Cinderella Story from China by Ai-Ling Louie?
Or it might be on this list - Cinderella Stories, which is for picture-book versions of Cinderella from different cultures.

Thank you for the help. No, it is not the Yeh-Shen book. Thanks for the link, I will try to search for it on there but haven't found it yet

Becca (beccalikesbooks) | 5528 comments Cinderella by Barbara McClintock has the detail with the oranges, but it's not Asia-themed/inspired.

I think this is it! Thank you so much! I do remember some sort of Asian element but I think I may be mixing two different books together so maybe the Asian version didn't have oranges in it. The Asian version was very similar, a short simple Cinderella book with just some Asian illustration mixed in. Thank you for this, I really appreciate it!

Thank you, but this is not it. The one I was looking for was just a simple Cinderella story with Asian illustrations. But thank you for your help.

Mira | 6 comments Is it The Golden Slipper?? It's a Vietnamese version of Cinderella, with bright and vivid illustrations. I do seem to remember a bit about fruits.

No unfortunately this is not it. I remember our teacher specifically telling us about the different cultural themes woven into the story. There were pictures of Asian patterned slippers in the beginning of the book.

I really do think it was the "Cinderella by Barbara McClintock", as the oranges part is exactly it. Maybe I am mixing two books at once, so the details probably don't apply? Thank you though.
