Readers' Reactions (selection) 'The images, created using digital gouache and digital watercolor techniques, are colorful and beautifully capture the whole atmosphere of ballet. A lovely book with a message for every persevering child who dreams of becoming a ballerina.' 'The story is beautifully constructed and really sparks the children's imaginations. Those shoes are truly enchanting and create enormous tension between the friends! How will they solve that?' 'It's wonderful to discover with children that everyone has talents. That talents can be developed through proper practice. I think it's fantastic that Miss Rani has a dark complexion and that the ballet group consists of children of different nationalities. A boy also dances with her. The children recognize Floortje's emotions: sadness, anger, and joy.' Miss Elsie, Hebban.nl
