Overview

When the talented sixteen-year-old Celia moves to New York City to dance, she discovers she has inherited her grandmother's gift of flying. All Celia wants is to become a ballerina, but suddenly her jumps are propelling her high above the trees. All profits will be donated to Rhode Island ballet companies. ""As a former professional dancer, this story swept me back to the early days of my own journey-the dreams, the discipline, the longing to find my place in the world of dance. As a mother, I'm grateful for how beautifully it introduces children to the magic, rigor, and artistry of ballet. Grandmother's Gift captures the heart of a young dancer's life in New York City, the fierce love of family, and the quiet courage it takes to chase a dream. It's a tender, whimsical, and deeply honest portrayal of growing up and discovering who you are."" -Kathleen Breen Combes, Artistic Executive Director of Ballet RI, former principal dancer with Boston Ballet
