Overview

A picture book about perseverance, self-esteem, and ballet for girls ages 4-8 For girls who dream... and for mothers who remember.

Now imagine guiding your daughter through that same moment. Noemí dreams of becoming a ballerina. She wants to dance like her ballet teacher -light, graceful, effortless. But every time she jumps... she lands hard. She feels embarrassed. She compares herself to others. And quietly she tells herself, ""I can't."" In her ballet class, Noemí learns something powerful: talent doesn't appear overnight. Confidence is built through practice. Falling is part of learning. And perseverance transforms fear into strength. Little by little, she discovers that mistakes are not failure-they are steps forward. And one day, she finally lands... light as a feather.

Besides writing, she enjoys dancing, singing, and doing crafts.She lives in northen Germany with her husband, her two kids and her two doggies. Hola, my name is Ana and I was born in Monterrey, a city in the Northeast from México. I have loved drawing since I was a little girl. I remember that, when I was around 5, a girl came to visit, I think her mom was a friend of mine's. She taught me to draw a face, starting with a big """"U"""", then closing it with an spiral on the top (representing bangs) and from there, continue with the eyes, with a little """"u"""" for the mouth, the nose, etc. I will never forget that moment. In primary and secondary schools I won every drawing contest. Even today, if I have a pencil and a surface to draw, I take the opportunity. I studied arquitecture and loved working in that field, but I did not have much time to draw freely my """"dolls"""". Then I got married and moved to Edinburgh, Scottland, a beautiful city with a lot of charm and full of inspiration. When I became a mom, my children gave me new energy and inspiration; my drawings started to incline to the children's world. My favorite technique since then has been aquarell, it allows for soft images, but full of life. Jennifer Webb has never quite ventured away from the world of children's books.
