What do you think of these modern day spins on classic fairy tales?
Hi neighbours,
Waikato author Jo Paterson has plucked classic fairytales and altered them to promote values and characteristics rather than beauty, and show diversity in race, ethnicity and sexual orientation.
Diamonds and Toads, her first children's book, includes 14 spin-offs of classic tales such as Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood. Fourteen Kiwi illustrators have also captured these dark tales with a twist.

You can help grow the Waikato Community Rugby Fund
Waikato Rugby celebrated 100 years of service to the community in 2021, but due to the pandemic the long-planned celebrations were not held until late 2022.
A highlight was a black-tie event at GloBox Arena at Claudelands where over 300 people enjoyed a wonderful night of reminiscence, remembrance, reconnection and reflection on what our national game means to the Waikato.
Many people put a lot of work into making the evening a massive success by all sorts of measures. One was fundraising $21,000 for the good of the game through auctions and donations, which has recently been transferred to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund at Momentum Waikato.
The Fund grows in perpetuity, with distributed returns only used for the benefit of the amateur community rugby, forever.
Donations to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund are always most welcome, to find out more and donate click the button below.
