By Tom ChampionThe Aussie Gem series is oozing with Aussie bush charm from every page. These stories are packed to the rafters with images of life in the Australian bush, Aussie alternatives to common words and an overabundance of koalas, wombats, kangaroos, gum trees and sheep.
This delightful picture book is an Australian version of the Cinderella fairytale. With plenty of Aussie icons, including the wattle, blue thongs and a red kangaroo, this cute version is unashamedly Aussie and is brought to life with humorous illustrations by Glen Singleton.
Cindy-Ella’s stepsisters Rachelle and Sheryle keep her busy feeding the budgies, cleaning the dunny and cooking meat pies, but she dreams of romance with Steve, the best sheep-shearer in Gundaroo. She finally gets her chance when her fairy god-nanna, with a few waves of her wattle branch, gets Cindy ready for the Gundaroo Singles Mingle Ball.
