Ballet Dreams

Ballet magic with dreamy colour artwork. A treat from Cerrie Burnell: picture book queen of our hearts. Once there was a little girl who dreamed of dancing. Of skipping over rooftops and pirouetting round the moon. She twirled on her toes as lightly as snow, and darted through the air like a swallow. So her Grandpa called her Little Bird… One day Little Bird sees the ballet practice for Swan Lake. From that moment, she wants to be a ballerina. When she gets her first pair of silk ballet shoes from Grandpa, her face lights up like a star…
