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. When she tries to stretch up high and leap gracefully like a cloud, she wobbles, loses her balance, and almost topples completely over. Thankfully, a good friend is there to catch her. Suddenly, doubt creeps in. Bella starts to feel nervous and wonders if she actually has what it takes to perform on stage. When the day of the big recital finally arrives, the heavy curtain goes up, the dancers take their positions, and Bella freezes in the spotlight. 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.
