Elly and the Smelly Sneaker: A Riches to Rags Story

40 pp. | Sterling | April, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4549-1817-2 $14.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lesley Vamos. Elly lives a life fit for a princess, but she longs to play baseball ("she dreamed of opening days and double plays and being on their team"). Her fairy godfather provides a grungy uniform so she can attend a game and show off her skills. This simple but good-natured tale inverts the Cinderella story with self-referential humor and comical digital illustrations.
