Book excerpt: "Have you heard of Cinderella? Of course, you have! How about Ariel? Yes? Rapunzel? Jasmine? Snow White? Mulan? Pocahontas? Aurora? Okay, all of them then. Good! Do you know, then, what all of these princesses have in common? Falling in love with the handsome prince and living happily ever after, you say? No, not that. Me! They all have me in common! I'm their dressmaker! My name is Sue, or Sewing Sue or Sue Sew or Sew Sue or any way you want to say it really. And I am a dressmaker for princesses. Would you like to find out how I make these beautiful dresses? Then follow me into my sewing room. You think fairy godmothers just wave their magic wands and all those pretty dresses fall from the sky? Oh, how silly! They are so much more complicated to make than that. Yes, the fairy godmothers do wave their wands, but it's me who does all the magic. Days before the wand is even raised in the air, I am in my sewing room, hunched over my cutting board with pins and scissors and rulers and measuring tapes and chalk and my thimble of course. I am measuring the colourful fabric and cutting it away and sewing it together, and adding the glitter and the ribbons. Come in, come in, my dears, and take a look at how I make the magic happen." This book was written by a grow-up author and illustrated by a child artist, Darina Krisanova, as part of KidsBookFarm which teaches kids to author and to illustrate their own books.
