Ra Pu Zel and the Stinky TofuBy: Ying Chang Compestine Illustrator: Crystal Kung A playful, feminist retelling of Rapunzel with a Chinese cuisine twist The story of Rapunzel where shes being locked in a tower by a witch is a good onebut its not totally the truth. The real story is about a young princess in China named Ra Pu Zel who doesnt want to talk to princes or look proper. What Pu Zel wants is to cook and eat in peace, her long hair neatly braided to keep it out of her food.
