What if Cinderella was a musher? Or instead of seven dwarves, Snow White had found seven huskies?

Mentor texts used include Alaska’s Sleeping Beauty, The Salmon Princess: An Alaska Cinderella Story, and Alaska’s Snow White and Her Seven Sled Dogs by Mindy Dwyer; Alaska’s Three Bears by Shannon Cartwight; and Alaska’s Three Pigs by Arlene Laverde.
