Once upon a time, in an igloo that 

stood in an Alaska fishing village, 

there lived a girl named Eskirella. 

One chilly afternoon, Eskirella was 

ice fishing in the pond next to her 

igloo.  

A sled pulled by dogs arrived and a messenger got out to knock on 

the igloo door. He handed Eskirella's cold-hearted stepmother an 

invitation to the Ice Palace Ball.

Her stepmother and stepsisters bragged 

about going to the ball and leaving 

Eskirella home to do all the chores. 

"You can't go to the ball in that old, 

warn out snowsuit," chanted the cold-

hearted stepsisters."

"Maybe I can," responded Eskirella. "I 

can find some caribou skins and make a 

nice dress by then."

"No, that won't be possible," 

interjected the ice cold stepmother. 

"We need you to stay here, polish up 

the igloo, and chop ice, in case one of 

your sisters meets the Ice Prince and 

invites him to come here for a snow 

cone one day."

"It just isn't fair," thought Eskirella, 

as she went back to drilling holes in 

the ice in order to catch some fish.

As she lowered the fishing rod into the hole, a giant polar bear broke through 

the ice and greeted her. 

"Stop crying, Eskirella. I am your Polar Fairy and I am here to grant your wishes.

"What? How can you do that?" Eskirella asked astonished.

"Being that you would like to go to the ball, I have the magic that can make that 

happen.

"Well I wish that I just had a caribou dress, a scarf, and some sparkling 

snowshoes, as well as a way to get to the ball because my cold stepmother and 

ice-cold stepsisters wouldn't dream of taking me along," cried Eskirella.

Just then, the Polar Fairy whisked his 

icicle wand into the frosty air and 

POOF! Eskirella transformed into a 

beautiful ice princess. She looked at 

her refelction in the icy water to see 

herself wearing a wonderful caribou 

dress with a frilly collar, a sparkling 

snowflake scarf, and glittery 

snowshoes. The Polar Fairy waved his 

icicle wand one more time and POOF! 

there stood a fancy sled pulled by two 

huskies. Eskirella gave the Polar Fairy 

a warm hug and hopped onto the sled.

"Wait! One more thing, shouted the Polar Fairy. "Make sure that you 

are back home before the sun comes up and melts all of the magic 

away!"

Eskirella heard him, and made a note to herself. The huskies pulled 

that sled so swiftly that she was at the ball before she knew it. 

The Ice Palace sparkled and glittered like snowflakes in the sun.

Eskirella dashed across the sled carpet 

and into the doorway, where she hopped 

out and entered the palace. She was no 

longer recognized by her stepsisters and 

stepmother.

However, the Ice Prince noticed her at 

once, and whisked her across the dance 

rink. The danced across the ice all 

evening, and Eskirella's snowshoes 

enabled her to glide across the ice 

gracefully.

They danced all evening, and when Eskirella saw the sun begin to 

rise, the note she made to herself earlier popped into her mind. In a 

panic, without even saying goodbye to the prince, she dashed out 

the door to her sled, but on the way, her snowshoe came undone, so 

she had to leave it behind only for the prince to find it as he ran 

after her.

A few days later, the Ice Prince 

searched the icy tundra for the 

beautiful girl in the caribou dress. He 

went to every igloo, hoping to find the 

warm foot that would fit into the 

snowshoe. Alas, he approached the igloo 

of the three cold stepsisters and ice 

cold stepmother.

"Let me try," each stepsister called as 

they pushed and shoved one another, 

trying to fit their cold feet into the 

shoe. Just then, drawn by her warmth, 

the prince approached Eskirella.

"Please be so kind as to try this 

snowshoe on for me," he requested. 

Eskirella did so, knowing it would 

fit. The prince immediately asked her 

to marry him, as he presented 

Eskirella with a diamond ring that 

shined like snowflakes in the sun.
