A hilarious retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale by WNBA superstar Breanna Stewart.
Once upon a time . . . there lived a humble, hard-working basketball court sweeper named Bea.
While she was the best at her job and loved supporting the rest of the cleaning squad, Bea had a big, secret wish: to bench her broom and play for the best basketball team in the kingdom, the Knights.
The perfect opportunity to shoot her shot arrives when the team announces they are holding tryouts, but Bea’s evil stepmother forbids her from going. Just when all hope seems lost, Bea is visited by her Fairy Dunkmother, who gives her a brand-new uniform and a fresh set of magical sneakers to dazzle Coach Prince with her skills! In the end, it’s Bea’s dedication to the sport that gets her in the starting lineup, and away from her stepmother and stepsisters’ clutches forever.
For her picture book debut, WNBA superstar Breanna Stewart has crafted a fresh take on the Cinderella story that shows young readers that hard work and determination are all that’s needed to make your dreams come true.
