Can Olivia balance her ballet obsession with everyday life?
Olivia is captivated by ballet, inspired by her idol, Prima Ballerina Penelope Twinkletoes. She immerses herself in dance, practicing even while doing chores. But when her dedication leads to missed homework and playdates, Olivia must find a way to balance her passion with her responsibilities. Can she discover a solution that keeps her dreams alive without losing touch with the rest of her world? Join Olivia on her journey to find harmony in her life, where every step is a dance and every choice is a leap of faith.
It’s all ballet, all the time for Olivia–but can she find some balance? This deluxe picture book features embossed pages and flocking on the cover. When Olivia learns that her role model, Prima Ballerina Penelope Twinkletoes, “eats, drinks, and sleeps ballet,” Olivia vows to do the same. She practices the five ballet positions while setting the dinner table and even does arabesques while taking Baby William for a walk in the stroller. In fact, Olivia is so busy thinking about ballet that she misses a homework assignment and a playdate. What’s an aspiring ballerina to do? Find a solution that is perfectly en pointe! A wonderful companion to OLIVIA Acts Out, OLIVIA Claus, OLIVIA Says Good Night, and OLIVIA Dances for Joy, this beautiful hardcover picture book features embossed pages and soft red flocking on the cover.
