Hace mucho tiempo—a long time ago—there lived a beautiful young woman named Adelita. So begins the age-old tale of a kindhearted young woman, her jealous stepmother, two hateful stepsisters, and a young man in search of a wife. The young man, Javier, falls madly in love with beautiful Adelita, but she disappears from his fiesta at midnight, leaving him with only one clue to her hidden identity: a beautiful rebozo—shawl. With the rebozo in place of a glass slipper, this favorite fairy tale takes a delightful twist. This is a Cinderella story like no other. Please note that the majority of the audiobook is in English, with Spanish vocabulary throughout.

Adelita was narrated with beautiful expression and prosody. The story came to life for our family. We are happy we can hear the story again and again ,and follow along in the book, while listening to the narrator's beautiful reading.

Lovely narration

De Paola beautifully transports the Cinderella tale to a Mexican home and characters. Instead of the glass slipper, we have a lovely rebozo. Instead of the fairy godmother, a warm and faithful housekeeper. The bits of Spanish in the text are quickly translated making them easy to understand (and perhaps learn)? The narrator creates a wonderful spectrum of characters: Sweet Adelita, loving and protective Esperanza and a perfectly wicked Latinx stepmother. This is a delightful listen for adults and children alike.

A Gem!
