What is The not-so-evil stepmother about?

Stepmothers in fairy tales are usually painted as wicked, but this story reveals that there may be more to them than meets the eye. Meet one stepmother who is not quite as evil as everyone believes. Through lively rhymes and a playful twist on familiar fairy-tale ideas, readers discover her side of the story and learn that appearances can be misleading. A funny, fresh retelling that invites children to question old stories and see things from a different point of view.
