Bella absolutely loves everything about ballet class. She listens closely to the music so she can perfect her tippy-toe turns, point her feet, and plié in perfect rhythm. When her teacher, Madame, announces an upcoming recital, Bella is thrilled and determined to give it her absolute best. But practice doesn't always make perfect.

She must look deep inside herself to find the courage she needs to shine. This beautifully illustrated story is a heartwarming reminder that with a little bravery and the support of good friends, you can overcome any fear.
