Bookroo's summary
Stella, a once-dancing kitten, seems to have lost her passion as she grows up. Her family misses her joyful pirouettes, but Stella is preoccupied with new adventures, like chasing bugs and basking in the sun. Just when it seems her dancing days are over, Stella surprises everyone with six kittens who inherit her love for dance. Will these playful kittens reignite the joy of dance in Stella's life? Discover a heartwarming tale of family, growth, and the unexpected ways joy can return.
From the publisher
A tender family story that will dance into your heart. Stella is a kitten who loves to dance. But as she grows up, Stella dances less and less. Has she lost her passion for pirouettes and plies? Or is she just busy with other things, like stalking bugs, soaking up the sunshine–and finding a quiet place to have her kittens? With warmth and charm that recalls the best-loved classics of children’s literature, Stella’s story of growing up is perfect for families to share.
