description: 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 Dawnand 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.
