A sweet, funny ode to the joy of dancing, with art from Waterstones Prize-winner Lovlie, and a joyful, diverse cast of young dancers * The Bookseller * A charming introduction to the joy of ballet dancing, starring a very charismatic little ballerina * LoveReading4Kids * The relatable protagonist is cheeky and likable, displaying an authentic mix of impatience, joy and enthusiasm, typical of a young child. Colourful illustrations are full of humour and will help children to understand the subtext of adult exasperation caused by the girl's amusing antics. This light-hearted, inclusive tale features a diverse cast of characters and will delight aspiring dancers, especially those who don't quite conform * BookTrust *
