About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is on the verge of a big creative step or feels intimidated by the grandeur of a new hobby. It is perfect for the little dreamer who sees the world through a lens of 'make-believe' and needs to know that their imagination is a gift, not a distraction. While the story follows Tanya as she explores the backstage world of the ballet Coppelia, its heart is about the magical connection between generations and the joy of finding a mentor who truly sees you. This gentle story celebrates the transition from being a spectator to being a participant. It captures the specific, breathless wonder of a child discovering the 'machinery' of art, costumes, sets, and makeup. It is ideally suited for children ages 4 to 8, providing a comforting bridge between realistic daily life and the sparkling possibilities of the stage. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's curiosity and encourages them to follow their passions with confidence.
