Cheerful and heartwarming, this movement adventure will inspire creative expression through imagination. 

A Fantastic Resource For Young Dancers... 

This whimsical tale of discovery is so full of joy and wonder. It also opens a door to dance... 

Another wonderful journey into the imagination with Ballerina Konora, perfect for young dancers everywhere!...   

With constant support and innovative descriptions that will spark imaginations... 

Children can learn in a fun and healthy way while enjoying valuable bonding time with their parents... 

A precious book that instills the importance of kindness, compassion and family in a uniquely fun way...

Highly recommended for anyone with young children and those young at heart too. 

This is a visually stunning and interactive book that will inspire young dancers... 

A lovely book for young dancers that encourages hopefulness, creativity and new movement...   

...excellent addition to movement curricula for preschool and elementary school-aged children.

An innovative use of dance and storytelling for a fun, child-focused activity.
