My favorite place in a bookstore is the children's section. It's just so friendly and inviting, and I've always had a penchant for children's books. I appreciate them as an adult in whole new ways from when I was young, and now am lucky to have a job where I can sneak into the children's section and sit with a stack of books (yes, amazingly I can still fit into those tiny chairs and benches) and peruse the whimsical stories and illustrations of children's books. Of course if they have a dance theme, even better! Here are a few that I found a few weeks ago and am loving.
Tallulah's Tutu, by Marilyn Singer and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger, is all about Tallulah's quest to become a real ballerina and get her own tutu, since a ballerina isn't really a ballerina without a tutu dontcha know.
I love the illustrations by Christine Davenier in Miss Lina's Ballerinas. Written by Grace Maccarone, this book is not only cleverly rhymed, but has a nice lesson about friendship and acceptance.
And, totally appropriate for The Ballerina Birthday is the book Princess Party by Joy Allen. Fun, glittery, and great for all princesses in training, this book is a celebration of all things that princess can do.
All of these books will definitely be added to The Ballerina's Birthday story offerings, and keep your eyes peeled for new ones since I'm always in the market for a good book!
