WHEN CINDERELLA'S EMBROIDERED SCARF IS RIPPED AT A HORSE RACE, she is heartbroken and desperate to find it. Fortunately, the Prince finds the missing piece of her scarf, and in a beautiful union, they make vows to one another to continue keeping their cultural heritage alive. The plot of the story, settings, characters, and sequence of events have grown with the author throughout the years while she was researching and teaching various topics in bilingual and multicultural education. The message and moral of the story promote the importance of cultural heritage and how to keep it alive, through the art of cross-stitching embroidery and other family traditions. Using an interdisciplinary approach, teachers can design a thematic unit focusing on the story of Cinderella from different cultural perspectives. This can effectively build a deeper understanding of diversity, and the value of cultural identity and heritage preservation.
