HarperCollins Publishers Inc Grand Jeté and Me A Christmas Holiday Book for
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Grand Jeté is the elegant ballerina grandmother of every young aspiring dance student’s Christmas Eve dreams. Having been a dancer herself, she is an example of the powerful effect of seeing the world through eyes trained to create and appreciate beauty, and she turns the act of attending The Nutcracker into a performance itself. As it should be." — Gregory Victor, of the Jerome Robbins Foundation "Glasser’s years of ballet training are evident in the book’s illustrations, which depict the dancers exhibiting perfect technique. They’re also a beautiful testament to Balanchine’s choreography and Karinska’s beloved costumes, drawn here in exquisite detail. The character of Grand Jeté, with her long neck and upswept gray hair, also brings Kent’s delicate grace to the page." — Pointe Magazine "This charming tale of the annual holiday tradition of a grandmother and granddaughter in the heart of New York City is sure to warm your hearts and trigger memories of your experiences seeing The Nutcracker." — The Ballet Herald "The grandmother in the story...is pure delight for her young granddaughter, imparting ideas from her years as a ballerina herself. This is a wonderful picture book for children." — Dance Teacher "A little girl’s visit with her grandmother is filled with dancing from the moment the door opens at her New York City apartment…The detailed illustrations, featuring the New York City Ballet’s Nutcracker costumes and sets, are joyous and bubbly." — Kirkus Reviews “An easy addition to holiday collections, certain to appeal to Nutcracker fans and balletomanes.” — School Library Journal “Numerous engaging pictures will entice readers to take the time to pour over…this charming story.” — Booklist Online “Glasser’s kinetic, wispy artwork…warmly pays homage to ballet form onstage and off, capturing the text’s free-spirited, memory-centered vibe.” — Publishers Weekly “When the little girl visits her grandmother…dance infuses their ordinary moments." — Horn Book Magazine

She''d already taken dance lessons, but everyone said a poor country girl would never get into the academy, especially without any connections in the Communist Party of the 1970s. But Zhongmei, whose name means Faithful Plum, persisted, traveled for three days and two nights to get to Beijing and eventually beat out 60,000 other girls. But getting in was easy compared to staying in, as Zhongmei soon learned. Without those all-important connections, she was just a little girl on her own, far away from family. But her determination, talent, and sheer force of will were not something the teachers or other students expected, and soon it was apparent that Zhongmei was not to be underestimated.

A muted color palette in digitally painted art highlights the technique and diversity of the dancers . . .

This title is the perfect biographical addition for young readers interested in dance and the arts.” —School Library Journal, starred review“The magical tale of a gutsy young ballerina, drawn from the barrier-breaking dancer’s own life.” —People“The sense of movement, perspective, and depth [illustrator Setor Fiadzigbey] brings to Bunheads is like nothing I've ever seen. . . And you don't have to be a dance fanatic to enjoy it; while the vast majority of the action takes place in the studio or onstage, any child who has ever had a dream or felt passionate about something will find themselves in the book's pages. And frankly, even if a kid has never heard of a plié or seen the inside of a ballet class, the sheer joy on every illustration of Misty's face will probably have them pas de bourrée-ing around the house to see what all the fuss is about.” —NPR.com“A gorgeous, inclusive tale . . [that] will inspire the next generation of dancers.” —Shondaland.com“Bunheads features two young female dancers and friends . . .
