She is now the author of over fifty books for children, including the “New York Times” bestsellers “The Quiet Book”, “The Loud Book”, and “Here Comes the Easter Cat”.When she s not writing, you might find her singing in a chamber choir, playing a ukulele (very badly), walking around in Golden Gate Park, baking vegan cookies, or petting any dogs, cats, pigs, or turkeys that happen to be nearby. In 2001, Deborah decided to start writing stories for kids. Highly recommended!Īdd this book to your collection: Interstellar CinderellaĪbout Deborah Underwood Deborah Underwoodĭeborah Underwood grew up in Walla Walla, Washington. Perfect for your STEM-loving or totally traditional princess. A real step-up from traditional fairy-tale retellings. The illustrations are so unique and beautiful, and I loved the diversity in characters. I especially appreciated that twist ending, where Cinderella chooses friendship over marrying a young man she just met. Children will love to read the book again and again. The rhyming elements are solid and entertaining. This is a beautifully retold and illustrated version of Cinderella. Will she agree to be his bride? In a sweet and independent twist, Cinderella chooses instead to be his friend and chief mechanic. Never to fear, because the prince has a will and a way to search the entire galaxy for his crafty mechanic love interest.
Alas, Cinderella runs away and leaves only her sonic socket wrench behind. Then they talk for hours about cool galactic gizmos. She meets the prince and helps him fix his spaceship. With a flick of her godrobot’s magic wand, Cinderella is off to the ball. But Cinderella’s clever robotic mouse calls on her fairy godrobot. So when an invitation arrives for the prince’s Gravity-Free Ball, her sisters and stepmother find a way to leave her behind. Her chores are numerous (after all, someone has to fix the zoombroom), but her heart is pure.
