From Davina Bell and Waterstones Award-winning illustrator of The Girls, Jenny Løvlie, comes a beautifully diverse and inclusive picture book perfect for any aspiring dancer. There is a lot to learn about being a ballerina. It is hard work and can seem silly at times. If you fall over, don’t panic. You don't have to be perfect! But when you walk out on the stage, it will feel like magic and fireworks and Christmas-tree lights in your tummy, and you'll know that no matter what, you're a real ballerina. Also by Davina Bell and Jenny Løvlie, I Love Tractors! : the story of one little boy's obsession with all things tractor.
