We are now presenting these stories on the first Thursday of every month here on Arizona Spotlight. This time, we’ll hear a story about a strong willed princess who greatest enemies are stereotypes.It was written by Cayla, a 5th grader at Fruchthendler Elementary, called NOT a Fairy Tale. It was produced by the Stories that Soar! creative team, with middle school students from the Youth Center Program at Literacy Connects.
