From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sharon M. Draper comes a debut picture book about a timid little ballerina who learns that the show must go onâand willâwith a little help from her friends.
Bella loves ballet class and listens hard to the music so she can tippy-toe turn, point, and pliĂŠ in perfect time. When Madame announces a recital, Bella is determined to do her best. But when she tries to stretch up to leap lightly like a cloud, she wobbles and almost topplesâluckily, a friend catches her.
Now, Bellaâs nervous; maybe she canât do this like she thought she could. On recital day, when the curtain goes up and the dancers get in position, Bella freezes. Can she find her courage in time to take the stage?
