Bookroo's summary
In a Greek village, an orphaned girl endures her cruel stepmother's harshness, counting every drop of water she drinks. Yet, nature bestows her with gifts: the Sun's brilliance, the Moon's beauty, and the Sea's blue shoes. When a prince visits, he is captivated by this mysterious beauty. Will these gifts lead her to a new destiny, or will her stepmother's cruelty prevail? Discover a magical retelling of Cinderella, where nature's blessings and a prince's love might just change everything.
From the publisher
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.
