What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

The young ballet students of Paris were called petits rats at the time of Degas. He realized that ballet is much like art, it needs lots of hard work and practice. More than 30 Degas paintings and drawings capture the development of a little girl into a ballerina in this children’s book.
