“This whimsical tale of discovery is so full of joy and wonder. It also opens a door to dance in the most charming and accessible way. Readers of all ages will have a ball with Brielle and her friends.” —Peter Boal, Artistic Director, Pacific Northwest Ballet
Brielle’s Birthday Ball, a Mom’s Choice Gold Award recipient, makes a great seriesintroduction and special birthday gift for girls aged 4-7. Ballerina Konora joins the fun with dance suggestions on each page.
“…a great way of introducing kids to the world of dance while couching these movements into a broader journey of magic, dreams, and movement responses … very highly recommended…” —Midwest Book Review

The full collection features male, female, and ungendered diverse characters.

Dance-It-Out!s are a bit above level (language-wise) as they are often initially enjoyed with a caregiver or teacher.
