Bookroo's summary

A cotton farmer's daughter dreams of a fairy princess costume from the catalog, but a dry year means there is no money to buy one. Her mother makes her a costume from a brown towel and cotton bolls instead, and she is sure she will be the only cotton bale among the princesses and pirates. With help from a caring teacher, she learns that being different can be something special.
