The Gift of the Crocodile by Judy Sierra illustrated by Reynold Ruffins

A Cinderella Story which takes place in the Spice Islands, Indonesia
Damura endures the scorn and abuse from a stepmother.  When she loses her sarong in the river, a crocodile retrieves it and thus begins a special relationship between the two.  Little does Damura realize that her kindness and respect that day will save her life in the near future.
A very unique Cinderella story with an interesting twist.
I appreciated Ms. Sierra's Folklore Note in the background.
-Borrowed from the library.
