Reach for this book when your child expresses a new passion for an activity but feels discouraged by the repetitive practice required to master it. It is the perfect bridge for a child who loves the glamour of the stage but needs help understanding the discipline, patience, and physical effort that happen behind the scenes. Through Lili's eyes, children see that the magic of a performance is built upon the quiet, everyday work of the rehearsal studio. Author and former professional dancer Rachel Isadora provides an authentic look at a young girl's commitment to ballet. The story balances the dreamy inspiration of watching a professional performance with the practical realities of stretching, dressing, and waiting. It is an excellent choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are starting dance classes or any structured extracurricular activity, as it validates both their high aspirations and their occasional fatigue.
