A STORYBOOK CHILDREN CAN COLOR
Reset on a Texas ranch, Cindy Ella is forced to do ranch chores but ends up a skilled cattlewoman. With her fairy godmother’s help, she attends Anson’s historic Cowboys Christmas Ball and meets her “prince charming,” the young large-animal vet. When he proposes and offers “princess treatment,” Cindy Ella doesn't want to be spoiled like a princess -- but needs to run her own ranch. Retold by Amanda Moore Vingren, who grew up in West Texas riding horses and reading books, and now teaches Advance Placement English Literature in Denton. Illustrated by Kerry Renta, a native Texan who taught fourth grade in Fort Worth.
