Former professional dancer and Caldecott Honor recipient Rachel Isadora shows readers how dreams and determination can play a leading role in becoming a ballet dancer.

Lili loves to dance. She gets dressed in her leotard, tights, and ballet slippers and begins her class. Along with Lili we learn the five dance positions and see some of the roles she may dance when she is older. For boys and girls who want to know about ballet, this is a perfect introduction!
