Little Miss Tutu Illustrated by Carey Armstrong-Ellis To be published by Abrams Books, 2010
Miss Tutu, a retired ballerina, meets Belle and recognizes a potential star! Belle may be a bit of a klutz, but she's got passion and style, and what's more, she dances with heart. Told in rhyming verse, this is a book for anyone who loves to dance.
Why I wrote this book
As a child, I had a wonderful ballet teacher named Mrs. Saunders who always encouraged me despite my clumsiness. Little Miss Tutu is for children like me who may not have the grace of a prima ballerina, but who do have a love of dance.
