In Olga Ivanov's retelling of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella is a young woman trapped in a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. Despite her hardships, she remains kind-hearted and hopeful. One day, a royal ball offers a chance for escape and transformation. With the help of a mysterious figure—a fairy godmother—Cinderella is granted a stunning gown and glass slippers, but the magic comes with a time limit. As she dances with the charming prince, their connection deepens, but when midnight strikes, she must flee, leaving behind a single slipper. The prince's quest to find her leads to unexpected revelations and the promise of a happily ever after. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].

Olga and Aleksey Ivanov have illustrated more than seventy books for children, including Mountain Dog by Margarita Engle and the My Readers about Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse. Olga and Aleksey Ivanov are renowned children's book illustrators and classically trained commercial artists from Russia. This talented husband-and-wife team immigrated to the United States in 2002 and have been in high demand ever since. In all, the two have illustrated over 80 children's books, three of which have sold more than 100, 000 copies. They work and live together with their son Ivan and fluffy Samoyed dog Misha in their artist studio in the foothills just outside of Denver, Colorado. Olga and Aleksey (better known in the publishing business and art world as "O&A Ivanovs") are very much a team. They met in art school in Moscow and have collaborated ever since. When they are not illustrating, they can be found hiking in the back country of the Colorado Rockies, taking in the inspiration that this amazing tableau has offered artists from around the world for centuries. The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, were German professors whose collections of folk tales and fairy tales have been loved for generations.
