Once upon a time in Greece, fate left a young girl an orphan. Her stepmother was so hateful that she counted every drop of water the orphan drank! But with the help of Nature's blessings, the orphan was showered with gifts- brilliance from the Sun, beauty from the Moon, gracefulness from the Dawn-and even a tiny pair of blue shoes from the Sea. When the prince comes to visit their village, he only has eyes for the mysterious beauty. Children will love this fanciful folk retelling of the Cinderella story, accompanied by luminous watercolor illustrations by Giselle Potter.

Giselle Potter

Giselle Potter and her sister, Chloe, traveled a lot with their parents' puppet theater. They often had just each other for companionship and therefore became very close. So Potter feels so lucky to have two daughters who are also very close. Watching their relationship, she is reminded of the unique, unmatchable bond of sisters. Potter has illustrated more than thirty children's books, and many of the books she both wrote and illustrated are either about or inspired by sisters.
