An enchanting picture book about following your dreams
Amelie is a little girl who dreams of dancing. Of skipping over
rooftops and pirouetting round the moon. She could twirl on her
toes as lightly as snow, and dart through the air like a swallow,
so her Granddad called her Little Bird.
One day Little Bird sees the ballet practice for Swan Lake, and
decides that all she wants is to become a ballerina. When she gets
her very first pair of silken ballet shoes from Grandpa, can
Amelie take the leap to follow her dreams?
