I think this would be a great book to use when studying literary themes and main ideas. After talking to students about the meanings of theme and main idea, I would have students read the book and identify what they think the main idea is and how it also fits into a certain theme. Students could then write or type a document explaining what main idea and theme they chose for the story of Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters. Because of the nature of the story and how it can be easily compared to Cinderella, we could talk as a class about how the main idea is particular to the book but how this book’s theme also works for other Cinderella stories they may have read.
