"A joyful celebration of ballet and performance, one to share with all budding ballerinas"
The star of Holly Sterling’s joyful story is Thomas, a little boy who proudly wants to be a ‘ballet kid’.
We follow him, on a wintery day, to ballet school where he meets his friends, warms up, dances and prepares for their Christmas performance of The Nutcracker. As everyone chooses their costumes, Thomas picks out something lovely and sparkly and takes to the stage as the Sugar Plum Fairy.
This is as warm and joyous a depiction of ballet and taking part in a show as you are ever likely to find, and the implicit approval of Thomas’s choices is wonderful.
Holly Sterling’s little ballerinas are full of life and energy too, and this is a book to share with all budding ballerinas. It’s perfect Christmas reading too.
