See moreAn exquisitely illustrated picture book of Noel Streatfeild's beloved classic - Ballet Shoes - retold by her nephew, Bill Streatfeild. The perfect gift for little dancers.
Description
The first official picture book adaptation of Ballet Shoes, beautifully illustrated and sure to capture the imaginations and hearts of a new generation of readers.
Meet Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil - three adopted sisters who share a dream of truly making something of their name.
Posy, the youngest of the sisters, loves to dance, twirl and prance. Pauline, the eldest sister, also feels happiest on stage treading the boards as an actress. But, Petrova, the middle sister, would rather be behind the scenes.
As the young girls start their journey at The Children's Academy of Dance and Stage Training, will they be able to discover their true callings, tap into their own unique talents, and work together to achieve their dreams?
With a heartwarming message of the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood and following your true passions, this retelling of a timeless tale is brought to life with beautiful storytelling and stunning artwork by Eve Coy.
Reimagined by Bill Streatfeild, nephew of Noel, and endorsed by the Streatfeild estate.
