Picture storybooks

My toes tingle with excitement. It’s ballet class today!

Snowflakes are falling softly outside when Thomas and his friends arrive at Mr Elliot’s dance studio. Prancing and whirling and twirling around the room, the boys and girls perfect their steps – first and second position, pliés, curtsies and more. Then, it's time for the most exciting moment ... picking out costumes for their first ever performance: The Nutcracker!

Joyful and spirited, this young celebration of dancing is inspired by the author’s time learning ballet as a child, and will have little dancers, and aspiring dancers, pointing their toes and joining in.

Reviews for Ballet Kids

[...]delightful picture book that confounds gender expectations. The perfect story for any child who loves to dance. -- Charlotte Eyre * Bookseller * A candy-sweet, gently inclusive picture book capturing the magic of dancing and performance for the very young. * Guardian * In her inclusive illustrations, Holly Sterling captures that magic and the sheer joy of the young dancers both in their class and as they perform the winter show. Young audiences will surely be swept up in that enchantment, especially the aspiring dancers among them. * Red Reading Hub * this is a book to share with all budding ballerinas. -- Andrea Reece * LoveReading4Kids *
