Wendy Meddour and Rebecca Ashdown put a clever twist on the Rapunzel story in this excellent picturebook. Rapunzel sits alone and fed up at the top of her tower block. Her friends urge her to let down her hair but she won’t – and she totally ignores the prince! Eventually, her friends climb up to see her, cook her some supper and hand over her post, which includes a job offer from the library. Thoroughly cheered, Rapunzel embraces her new life! So, the story concludes, don’t just wait for your prince to show, and there’s more to life than growing hair. A wonderfully positive and empowering message for everyone!
