Nina, Nina Ballerina identifies with every little girl that has the dream of being a dancer. I grew up in the dance studio starting at the age of two and always felt I could connect with this book. This book may not fit with everyone, but the book does include boys and girls and represents my culture. Dance is my identity and the joy of my life.
Nina is getting ready for her big performance but is worried about how her mom will know which one is her on the stage with everyone in the same costumes, and that she will mess up. Her mother reminders her that she will always be able to know her daughter on stage and she will that she will be beautiful. What do you do that makes you feel beautiful?
This is a great book! Lots of children today find it hard to figure out what makes them special, this is a great book to help children find what they love to do. Also it encourages children to look back at their life and past experiences and compare it to Nina. (I can see how you picked this book, really does ft you!)
