Book Summary

Pearl is a girly girl with a big imagination. Today is extra special because it’s Pearl’s first-day taking ballet. Ballet class is fun, until Pearl can’t follow along and fears she’s doing it all wrong. Pearl is about to give up when she learns each dancer is unique in their own way, like a unicorn, as Miss Victoria would say. Ballet is beautiful when you can be yourself!
