Oh my gosh, I love this! I’ve been reading lots of children’s Cinderella books, and some of them tend to be a little too similar to each other, but not this! No, this retelling was unique and it was so refreshing to read it. The illustrations were beautiful, the characters were lovely and the story was very enjoyable. Such a cute story.

The story of Virginia Dare. First the facts then an indian legend. Well written and interesting. Good jumping off point for learning more about history. The boys liked it.
