While Cinder dreams of a girl with eyes the colour of the sea, Princess Ella longs for something she cannot yet imagine. When the two girls meet, their hearts are filled with joy, but what will happen when the clock strikes midnight?
With one family being a source of encouragement, the other determined to crush all attempts at happiness, the odds are firmly stacked against our heroes. Yet with the power of love and strength, hope prevails. The result is a richly purposeful and inspirational, tale where girl meets girl and love faces adversity. Will Cinder and Ella find their happily ever after?
PRAISE
"A gorgeous retelling of everyone's favourite fairy tale. It's a delight to see that we all deserve a happily ever after." - Jodie Lancet-Grant, author of 'Pirate Mums' and 'The Marvellous Doctors for Magical Creatures'
"An uplifting, hopeful and inspiring LGBT fairy tale, celebrating feminism, strength and love." - James Mayhew, Children's Author and Illustrator
Barbara Slade is an award-winning television writer with numerous credits on much loved children's shows such as "Angelina Ballerina", "Winnie the Pooh", "Eloise" and "Rotten Ralph". She has worked for The Disney Channel, created two original series "Dead Gorgeous" and "Hi Opie" and received a Humanitas for one of her episodes of "Rugrats". Barbara also has a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education and was formerly a primary school teacher. Through this experience, Barbara gained a solid understanding of the developmental and emotional needs of children, allowing her stories to 'ring true' to her audiences. Barbara was born in Los Angeles, California, but now lives in London. Writing books for children has been a lifelong dream and working with Owlet Press has been a dream come true. "Cinder & Ella" is the first of what she hopes will be a new journey ahead.
"After so many years writing for children's TV, 'Cinder & Ella' was my first adventure into the world of children's books, and working with Owlet Press was a dream come true. Not only was the company a perfect match for this classic LGBTQ+ love story, but I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Sam Langley-Swain. His vision and expertise is second to none, and throughout the process I felt respected, inspired and beautifully challenged. Owlet Press has a new fan in me, and I hope this will be the first of many to come."
