Welcome!

The Ballerina Birthday is an event service based in the San Francisco Bay Area specializing in children's parties for young movers who love to dance, prance, and whirl! We believe that celebrating is best done in a tutu and that shared giggles are the best presents!

Ballerina Summer Reading

It's the first day of summer!  You all know I love a good ballet book, whether it be for grown ups or adults, and summer is the perfect time to find some great new reads.
I was super excited to find a follow up book to Tallulah's Tutu by Marilyn Singer.  Check out my blog on this cute story here.  Now Singer gives us Tallulah's Solo, just as endearing and wonderfully illustrated.  Now that Tallulah is a big girl ballerina she's certain she's to get the lead role in her school's upcoming performance of The Frog Prince.  Things don't go as planned though, when her little brother's dancing threatens to upstage her.  What's a ballerina to do?  Cute, well-written and easy to love, Tallulah takes us on another great dance adventure in her second book.  It's fantastically illustrated by Alexandra Boigner, I love the colors and innocence of the illustrations, below are a few excerpts!
Add this to your summer reading list and I'll keep you posted with more great reads I find.  Happy Summer!
