It was not overly preachy but left the reader with a great message and theme, it gave the book the theme of being grateful for what you have. The emphasis on concern of others especially children is highly valued, demonstrated by the courteous act of offering his nephew money to please him. She lives in warm and sunny North Carolina with. When his uncle tried to give him five dollars, Rigo turned him down because five dollars was not enough.

While focusing on the story of Cinderella, other fairy tales were woven in for a scene or two.
