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!

Also by Davina Bell and Jenny Løvlie, I Love Tractors! : the story of one little boy's obsession with all things tractor.

Trade Review
"A sweet, funny ode to the joy of dancing, with art from Waterstones Prize-winner Lovlie, and a joyful, diverse cast of young dancers" * The Bookseller *
"A charming introduction to the joy of ballet dancing, starring a very charismatic little ballerina" * LoveReading4Kids *
"The relatable protagonist is cheeky and likable, displaying an authentic mix of impatience, joy and enthusiasm, typical of a young child. Colourful illustrations are full of humour and will help children to understand the subtext of adult exasperation caused by the girl’s amusing antics. This light-hearted, inclusive tale features a diverse cast of characters and will delight aspiring dancers, especially those who don’t quite conform" * BookTrust *
