Ellie’s Dancing Shoes
Ellie wants nothing more than to become a ballerina.
Every day, she practices her stretches, leaps, twirls, and jumps. But Ellie doesn’t believe in herself. Her self-doubt gets in the way, and when she bends, she falls over. When she stretches, she slips. When she leaps, she slides. And when she twirls or jumps, she gets all twisted and slumped over.
Until one day when her parents give Ellie her grandmother’s magic dancing shoes. From then on, there are only graceful jumps, beautiful leaps, and dizzying twirls.
When the day of Ellie’s audition to become a ballerina arrives, her magic dancing shoes are lost. Will Ellie find them in time before her audition, or must she perform without them?
A beautifully illustrated story that shows children that their magic can be found within.
